AIRCRAFT LANDING GEAR MONITORING APPARATUS

摘要

An apparatus is disclosed for monitoring the load on at least one part of an aircraft landing gear during landing of the aircraft. The apparatus (100) comprises a housing containing a sensor (110, 170) which senses a parameter indicative of the load in the part of the landing gear, a processor (120) which receives signals fromthe sensor and processes the signals to produce data representative of the parameter measured by the sensor, a battery (130) which provides electrical power to the processor, a memory (140) for storing measurement data from the processor, and a wireless transmitter (150, 160) which is controlled by the processor. The wireless transmitter is arranged to transmit at least some of the measurement data from the processor to a remote device (200) located outside of the housing.
