Zusammenfassung: | A system (100) includes a signal generator (102) that is configured to generate a first electrical signal (130). The system (100) also includes a light source (104) configured to generate a light beam (132) based on the first electrical signal (130). The light source (104) is also configured to direct the light beam (132) towards a structural member (108) of an aircraft (300). The system (100) also includes a photoelectric sensor (112) configured to receive a reflected light beam (134) and convert the reflected light beam (134) to a second electrical signal (136). The reflected light beam (134) corresponds to a portion of the light beam (132) that is reflected from one or more optical reflectors (110) coupled to the structural member (108). The system (100) also includes circuitry (190) configured to estimate a location of a center-of-gravity (X) of the aircraft (300) based on a timing difference between the first electrical signal (130) and the second electrical signal (136). |
