An F-35A Lightning II rests on a load cell during testing at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, Sept. 9, 2025. A load cell is a suitcase-sized device on a tripod that fits under each wing and the nose of an aircraft to get an accurate weight. Originally developed for the F-22 Raptor, these cells are being evaluated as a lighter, more efficient alternative to the Air Force’s traditional aircraft weight scales.
