Introduction
GliderCG is a CoG digital balance device for sailplanes of up to 6Kg able to provide the
exact information of where the CoG is located in our glider by through a screen that
also provides information of the sailplane´s total weight.
Unlike the existing CoG scales based on the balancing of the sailboat on a supporting
point, GliderCG uses the barycenter formula to obtain the precise calculation of our
CoG without having to balance our sailplanes with the risks to the Integrity of them.
Concept
The condition for Static Equilibrium of the model plane, that is, it is not rotating,
imposes the model weight is splitted in two reaction forces p1 and p2 applied in the
supports A and B respectively, such as their resultant force passes thru the Center of
Gravity of the model.
The position of the CoG is calculated by solving the equations:
axp1=bxp2
a+b= K constant
K is known for the manufacture of the scale.
