Weight and Balance System

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.
