Abstract
System for monitoring the inflation pressure of the tires of an aircraft comprising a pressure sensor carried by each of the wheel rims of an aircraft and delivering an inflation pressure for each of the tires mounted on these rims, a processing unit ensuring the conversion of the different tire inflation pressures into values that can be used by a display device making these different tire inflation pressures available to a pilot or a maintenance operator, the processing unit being distributed in each of the aircraft wheel covers and configured on the one hand to communicate with the wheel pressure sensor via a short-distance wireless communication link and on the other hand to ensure the transmission of the tire inflation pressure coming from the pressure sensor towards the display device via a medium-range wireless communication link.
