Internet of Things for Flight Management Weight and Balance

摘要

This disclosure discusses a system for a flight weight & balance application to refine estimates of the cabin weight payload on a plane using actual passenger and cabin hand luggage weights. Weight & balance applications compute the total payload on board an aircraft including cargo, mail and checked-in baggage. However, for passengers and hand luggage, the systems can only estimate weights based on default values per category (eg adult or child, male or female etc.)
