At present, there are aircraft in which the load and the center of gravity of the aircraft have to be calculated manually and estimated, so that these data of vital importance in the stability of all the phases of flight of the aircraft can differ from the true ones with the consequences in piloting that this entails. The present invention provides an electronic system for performing the automatic calculation of said load and center of gravity. Its application is in the sector of civil aeronautical technology, whose objective is to know if these data are within the safety limits imposed by the manufacturer for the piloting of the aircraft. This electronic system comprises a data acquisition system and a display device in a mobile terminal (tablet, laptop or mobile phone) of general purpose. The data acquisition system consists of a set of sensors (load and pressure) and a control unit implemented with a microcontroller board, which is responsible for capturing the readings of the sensors to send it to the visualization system through a wireless communication based on a public network of mobile communications.

Applications

La ventaja de la presente invención proporciona un sistema electrónico para realizar el cálculo automático de dicha carga y centro de gravedad. Ya que hoy en día este cálculo se realiza manualmente, por lo que estos datos de vital importancia en la estabilidad de todas las fases de vuelo. Este sistema electrónico comprende un sistema de adquisición de datos y un dispositivo de visualización en un terminal móvil. El sistema de adquisición de datos consta de un conjunto de sensores y una unidad de control implementada con una placa microcontroladora, que se encarga de capturar las lecturas de los sensores para enviarlos al sistema de visualización a través de una comunicación inalámbrica basada en una red pública de comunicaciones móviles. Su aplicación comercial es en el sector de la tecnología aeronáutica civil, cuyo objetivo es saber si estos datos están dentro de los límites de seguridad impuestos por el fabricante para el pilotaje de la aeronave
