Abstract

SAWE Paper 898, presented in 1971 outlined the development of a tripod jack fixture and a short stroke jack which permitted the load cell weighing of an airplane without removing the airplane from its jacked position. This was categorized as "weighing in place". The same philosophy was desired to weigh the wide-body airplanes but difficulties were encountered with vendor equipment. The result was again an in-house design of a tripod jack fixture which seems to do the job very well. Downtime of about 10 minutes to accomplish the actual weighing is achieved.
