Novel Oil Quantity Sensor for Aerospace Applications

The Navy requires an oil quantity sensor that greatly improves the method for identifying the oil volume within an oil tank or gearbox. Currently, oil level sensors can only accurately measure during straight and level flight and have limited sensing range, which can contribute to incorrect oil servicing and subsequent maintenance or safety events. Triton Systems proposed solution is a novel oil quantity system that will meet all NavyÆs needs. It accurately measures the oil quantity in oil tanks and gearboxes for aerospace and other applications in a low power and small form factor. Triton solution is geometry agnostic and can provide accurate measurement for any arbitrary shape tanks and gearboxes and at any aircraft attitude.
