ABSTRACT:
Aircraft weight and balance computer apparatus processes sensor outputs to generate an electrical signal that is proportional to aircraft gross weight at the time take-off thrust is initially applied to the aircraft on the runway and continually updates the weight signal when airborne to account for burn off of fuel or other weight loss and also provides a measure of the location of the aircraft center of gravity position. This is achieved by computing the aerodynamic forces on the aircraft in its longitudinal plane and the thrust generated by the engines and relating these computations to the corresponding acceleration components measured by a pair of linear accelerometers that are mounted orthogonally in this longitudinal plane.
