Towards On-Board Implementation of ML-Based Helicopter Weight Estimator

Airbus and its partners have developed a supervised machine learning model that estimates helicopter weight during takeoff using data from Airbus's global in-service fleet, and demonstrated its implementation on legacy avionics computers for critical on-board alerting functions. The study, released on arXiv (2608.19210v1), outlines a learning assurance process aligned with the EASA concept paper and Eurocae ED-324, and verifies the requirements for a long short-term memory recurrent neural network.

arXiv:2608.19210v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper focuses on the implementation of a novel supervised Machine Learning model for estimating helicopter weight during takeoff, utilizing extensive datasets from Airbus's global in-service fleet. The study details a learning assurance process aligned with the EASA concept paper for machine learning application, and with the on-going Eurocae ED-324. We propose a set of Machine Learning Requirements, a Machine Learning Model Description, and its implementation for a long short-term memory recurrent neural network. Finally, we verify the requirements on the implementation. Demonstrated on legacy avionics computers, the implementation is suitable for the deployment of the developed Machine Learning Model weight estimator on airborne targets for critical functions such as on-board alerting.
