System for monitoring the inflation pressure of the tires of an aircraft

A system for monitoring an inflation pressure of tires of an aircraft comprising:

• a pressure sensor carried by each of a plurality of wheel rims of the aircraft and delivering an inflation pressure for each of the tires mounted on these rims,
• an energy autonomous management module including a battery and ensuring conversion of different tire inflation pressures into values used by a display device making the different tire inflation pressures available to a pilot or a maintenance operator,
• wherein the energy autonomous management module is distributed in each of a plurality of aircraft wheel covers and configured to communicate with the pressure sensor via a short-distance wireless communication link and to ensure a transmission of the tire inflation pressure coming from the pressure sensor towards the display device via a medium-range wireless communication link, and wherein the battery is rechargeable or non-rechargeable, and configured to provide a power supply to both the energy autonomous management module and the pressure sensor via the short-distance wireless communication link;
• wherein the energy autonomous management module further includes
• a short-distance wireless communication unite associated with an antenna for receiving data coming from the pressure sensor,
• a processing unit for shaping said data,
• a medium-ran e wireless communication unite associated with an antenna for transferring a set of data thus collected to the display device.
