ABSTRACT:
The present apparatus is used for ascertaining the individual weight of any ype of load including that of passengers and of hand baggage, that is added to the total payload of an aircraft. Each individual weight is ascertained and, if desired, displayed and added up to ascertain the total weight. For this purpose a weight sensing device such as a group of load cells or the like including a platform is arranged at the entrance to the freight or baggage compartment and, in a passenger aircraft at each passenger entrance door inside the aircraft. The weight sensing device provides an electrical signal for each weight unit that passes the platform into the aircraft. The weight representing electrical signal is supplied to an adder and to a display unit where the individual weights are displayed as well as the total weight. Further, control signals may be derived from the individual weight representing signals and control signals may be provided through a keyboard for energizing drive rollers or conveyors which transport a freight container or the like to a predetermined freight stall and for lashing the container down in its stall. This system cooperates with a data processing system located on the ground. The airborne system communicates with the data processing system on the ground through a data transmission link.
