Abstract
The present application relates to an aircraft weight detection and management system. In one example, the system includes a plurality of weight sensors, a communication network connected to the plurality of weight sensors, and a computing system. The plurality of weight sensors are distributed throughout an aircraft. Each weight sensor of the plurality of weight sensors is configured to output weight data representative of a weight of a load detected by the weight sensor. The computing system includes a logic subsystem and a storage subsystem holding instructions executable by the logic subsystem to receive, via the communication network, the weight data output by the plurality of weight sensors, calculate the center of gravity of the aircraft based at least on the weight data output by the plurality of weight sensors, and output the center of gravity of the aircraft.
