US Patent Issued on July 15 for "Method and system for increasing the accuracy of aircraft weight and associated center of gravity determinations" (Texas Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 16 -- United States Patent no. 12,359,961, issued on July 15.

"Method and system for increasing the accuracy of aircraft weight and associated center of gravity determinations" was invented by C. Kirk Nance (Keller, Texas).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The methods and systems provide for increasing the accuracy of aircraft weight and center of gravity determination through the use of filtered strut pressure measurements. Aircraft vertical and horizontal accelerations are determined as the aircraft is taxiing, and used to identify and reduce the number of significantly distorted pressure measurements, to allow the lesser distorted pressure measurements to be averaged, and...
