Abstract | The B747 was the first Lufthansa aircraft originally equipped with an electronic strain gage weight & balance system. This system determines electronically with axle mounted strain gage transducers the Take-Off Gross Weight (TOGW) in kg and the Center of Gravity (CG) in % MAC. The basic purpose of the system was to achieve confidence in the load and trim data sheet data. This confidence is obtained by comparison of the independent weight & balance indication with the load and trim sheet data, which is calculated with statistical standard weights. |
