PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel amount measurement method for aircraft that can accurately measure the amount of fuel in a tank even if the liquid level in the tank fluctuates as an aircraft changes its attitude and increases or decreases its speed.SOLUTION: A fuel amount measurement method for aircraft according to the present invention is a fuel amount measurement method for an aircraft comprising: a tank 20 which reserves fuel and is partitioned into two or more virtual sections 20a-20f; liquid level sensors 2a-2f; an acceleration sensor which detects acceleration of the aircraft; and a storage unit which stores first data on correlation between heights of liquid levels that the liquid level sensors 2a-2f detect and amounts of fuel in the virtual sections 20a-20f at predetermined acceleration of the aircraft. The method comprises (A) calculating the amount of fuel in the tank 20 from the heights of liquid levels that the liquid sensors 2a-2f detect, the first data, and the acceleration of the aircraft that the acceleration sensor detects.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2

    【課題】航空機の姿勢変更及び加減速に伴って、タンク内の液面が変動しても、タンク内の燃料量を正確に測定することができる、航空機の燃料量測定方法を提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】本発明に係る航空機の燃料量測定方法は、燃料を貯え、2以上の仮想区画20a〜20fに区分されているタンク20と、液面センサ2a〜2fと、航空機の加速度を検知する加速度センサと、航空機の所定の加速度における、液面センサ2a〜2fが検知する液面の高さ及び仮想区画20a〜20f内の燃料量の相関関係である第1データを記憶している記憶器と、を備える航空機の燃料量測定方法であって、液面センサ2a〜2fが検知した液面の高さ、第1データ、及び加速度センサが検知した航空機の加速度からタンク20内の燃料量を算出する(A)と、を備える。【選択図】図2
