Tyndall AFB showcases innovation with New F-35 weighing methods

A load cell is positioned under an F-35A Lightning II at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, Sept. 9, 2025. A load cell is a suitcase-sized device that fits on a tripod jack and is placed under each wing and the nose of an aircraft to get an accurate weight. These load cells, originally created by Lockheed Martin for the F-22 Raptor, are being tested on the F-35A as a smaller, more efficient alternative to the scales currently in use.
