I know it's possible to use a trifilar pendulum to extract information on moments of inertia by measuring the period of oscillation. I've seen this test being executed on small aircraft, like in this video.
But I wonder how do is the momement of inertia calculated on big aircraft, like a Boeing 707. Do they use the same principle of trifilar pendulum, just on a larger scale, or it's some other method?
