General Electrodynamics Corporation has designed, built and supplied the most advanced Aircraft Scale Systems in the world.
GEC’s patented, advanced and innovative piezo-electric sensor design is the key to our unmatched accuracy and repeatability in the aircraft scales market.
Calibration Press
GEC offers both Automated and Manual Calibration presses. Adding a calibration press to any GEC Scale System greatly increases return on investment and reduces cost of ownership year over year.
Rugged, Repeatable Aircraft Weighing Systems: Made and Serviced in the USA
With strict regulations for aviation procedures, accuracy is critical for safe, reliable, and efficient operations.
With 40+ years of experience in aircraft weighing across 140+ countries and an AS9100D Certification, General Electrodynamics Corporation is your source for advanced aircraft scale systems.
GEC’s Advanced Aircraft Weighing Technology
We design and build our solutions with durability and long-term reliability in mind. When you need accuracy and reliability, nothing serves you better than our offerings. Our aircraft weighing systems provide industry-leading repeatability and precise measurements.
Below are the core differentiators of our advanced aircraft weighing technology:
- ±0.1% accuracy (of applied load) and repeatability
- Guaranteed 12-month calibration intervals for reliability
- Fully designed, manufactured, and assembled in the USA
General Electrodynamics Corporation supports you with diverse aviation weighing solutions.
AN60z
Our AN60z features an 80,000-pound pad capacity with ±0.1% (of applied load) accuracy. Trusted by Boeing and NASA, this scale features a compact, low-profile design with a clear OLED screen, fully mesh wireless connectivity options, and an embedded antenna.
LPA400x
Enhance operational efficiency with the LPA400x, known for its 45,000-pound capacity and thinnest platform at under 1.75 inches. This aircraft scale saves you time throughout the weighing process. Its lightweight design (45 pounds) and ±0.1% (applied load) accuracy mean less time spent on setup and reweighing.
ULP410
Find the lowest-profile aviation scale with a platform height of less than 1 inch. Each ULP410 pad is just 23 pounds, making it simple to set up and move between weighings. ULP410 scales accommodate up to 10,000 pounds and come equipped with our best-in-class display, electronics, sensors, and wireless connectivity.
ULP Lite
When accuracy is nonnegotiable, utilize our ULP Lite, which provides measurements to the nearest ±0.1% (applied load) accuracy. The ULP Lite targets UAVs and ultralights, has a < 1-inch platform height, and supports a 5,000-pound capacity with a 23-pound pad.
Choosing the Correct Aircraft Weighing System
Primary methods for weighing aircraft involve platform scales and jack weighing systems. Platform scales offer convenience and flexibility, as they are straightforward to set up, work quickly, provide exceptional accuracy, and minimize the chances of component or aircraft damage during use.
Jack weighing systems are generally less expensive than platform scales, making them easier for some operators to access. To get the most from jack weighing systems, use General Electrodynamics Corporation’s top-of-jack load cell systems.
In-House Calibration Presses
We sell fully automated calibration press technology that can be used with any of our aircraft weighing systems.
As your source for aircraft Weight and Balance software, General Electrodynamics Corporation provides calibration presses that showcase the safety and automation features you want to see.

Importance of Accurate Aircraft Weighing for Safety and Compliance
The weight of an aircraft helps you calculate the subject’s center of gravity and other key values. This information is critical for efficiency, safety, and mitigating risk for your organization, as verifying that an aircraft can take flight without complications means consistent performance, ease of control, and safe operation.
General Electrodynamics Corporation pays close attention to regulations set by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Our AS9100D Certification validates that our internal processes meet the standards for quality control in our sector, giving customers confidence in our product — something few competitors can say.
