Gauging system of a liquid contained in a reservoir of a helicopter and gauging

摘要

The system (10) has a processing unit (15) connected to three force sensors (11), where each sensor is arranged between a tank (2) i.e. fuel tank, and a panel. A gyroscopic unit (20) and an acceleration measuring unit (25) are connected to the processing unit to transmit information relative to a base of the tank and accelerations of the tank. The processing unit executes the stored instructions to determine a quantity of liquid (6) contained in the tank using the information. A locking unit (30) includes multiple rods to fix the tank at walls of a structure. An independent claim is also included for a method for measuring liquid contained in a tank i.e. fuel tank, of a rotorcraft of an aircraft i.e. helicopter.
