The AirWeighs™ on-board weight and balance system is designed to convert
landing gear struts into weighing scales, thus providing a quick and accurate
readout of both aircraft weight and Center of Gravity.
Onboard Weight and Balance
The patented AirWeighs™ Weight and Balance system uses a unique method of
automatically establishing the onboard weight and center of gravity of an
aircraft. Accurate determination of weight and center of gravity are critical to
the safe and economic operation of an aircraft. AirWeighs™ combines these
attributes, plus ease of retrofit, to improve airline operations, aircraft
performance, maintenance, and utilization while enhancing safety.
