Center of Gravity重心
Center of Gravity is the point at which an aircraft would balance if it were suspended, representing the average location of all aircraft mass; the abbreviation CG is standard in technical materials. In aerospace documentation, it appears in weight-and-balance reports, loading manuals, flight test data, and operational limitation sections, where forward and aft CG limits are defined for safe handling and stability.

Where this term appears
Translators encounter CG in weight-and-balance manuals, load sheets, flight manuals, maintenance records, and UAV mission planning software. Strings such as 'CG envelope,' 'forward CG limit,' 'aft CG limit,' and 'CG position' must be handled carefully, and units or percent-of-mean-aerodynamic-chord values must remain consistent across tables and text.
Translation checks
A common error is treating center of gravity as the balance point of the payload alone, rather than the whole aircraft. Another is rendering 'CG limits' as a single 'gravity limit,' obscuring the forward and aft range. Misreading these limits can shift the loading calculation and degrade controllability or stability.
Keep the term aligned across your files
Check procedure sequence, part names, limits and cautions against the supplied references. Applicable aviation or market requirements depend on the product and project pathway.
Provide approved terms and previous translations with the source files. Agree how variants, ambiguous wording and revisions will be reviewed. Terminology maintenance and any termbase handback are confirmed in the project scope. See the 8-step AI + expert workflow.
