Aircraft`s e.g. helicopter, centre of gravity position and mass measuring device, has deformable unit with bar having eddy current sensor supplied with power by transceiver, and inclinometers finding aircraft`s pitch and roll angles

摘要

The device has a deformable unit (3) with a bar (4) having an eddy current sensor (6) at its free end. A processing unit receives main signals from the sensor to calculate mass and position of centre of gravity of an aircraft. Two inclinometers are arranged inside the aircraft`s fuselage to determine aircraft`s pitch and roll angles. A wireless transceiver supplies power to the sensor and transmits the signals to the processing unit.
