The CG is calculated from the relative weights on the nose and main gears. The sensors can be installed on current commercial transports without structural modifications. The combination of our new sensor technology and digital processing gives the Honeywell WBS the required accuracy and reliability to meet airline needs. The hermetically sealed unit operates by magnetic sensing. Its high-level signal requires only three wires.
Digital processing makes the system easy to calibrate and maintain.
The WBS has extremely high reliability and the dual version is fail-operational for any sensor failure. The Honeywell WBS is available in a dual configuration certifiable as a primary means of dispatch or in a single configuration as an advisory system.
