Dynamic methods for controlling the weight of the aircraft and helicopter

Abstract Despite the achieved level of development of methods and means of controlling the weight of aircraft, the number of emergencies associated with exceeding the allowable take-off weight of aircraft remains significant. Therefore, the question of the development of new methods for controlling the weight of aircraft, either immediately before take-off in the course of movement along the runway or immediately after take-off at the minimum flight height, remains relevant. This paper presents a scientific and technical substantiation of dynamic methods for controlling the mass of aircraft taking off and helicopters, based on introducing into the flight test program measurements of horizontal (for airplanes) and vertical (for helicopters) aircraft accelerations before take-off (for airplanes) and during take-off ( aircraft) with a maximum take-off weight, and their comparison with horizontal (for airplanes) and vertical (for helicopters) aircraft accelerations measured during operation takeoff (for airplanes) and during takeoff (for helicopters) with an unknown weight, respectively.
