Specific Challenge:

Innovative automatic weight measurement system for tiltrotors aimed at improving the accuracy of weight and balance data (including conversion moment calculations), reducing Flight Line operations times and improving operators’ safety. Once Aircraft assembly is completed Functional Tests including weight measurement are required in the two operative configurations: Helicopter Mode (VTOL) and Airplane Mode (A/P). Further to aircraft set-up for the first flight weight and balance is then performed during the demonstration phase every time that a change in configuration and/or envelope/performance exploration is required. This system is therefore aimed at providing a robust answer to the need of accuracy and repeatability in the frame of an ergonomic environment for the operators.
