Claim:
1. An aircraft comprising: a weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft; an actuator coupled to the weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft and configured to apply a force to the weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft; a sensor coupled to the weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft and configured to generate sensor data associated with the force applied to the weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft by the actuator, wherein the sensor data includes a frequency of resonance of the weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft when the force is applied to the weight bearing component of landing gear of the aircraft; a processor communicatively coupled to the sensor; and a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine a weight of at least a portion of the aircraft based on the sensor data.
