Empty-weight comparison
GCFP weight status: To be confirmed
Reference material: Not specified by reference source
Reference basis: Published individual specification
Reference weight depends on manufacturer, materials and configuration. Calculated or estimated weights are identified above. Maximum gross weight includes the container and cargo.
AVULD LD9 is part of Avimetal’s proposed collapsible graphene carbon fiber ULD range, designed to reduce empty-container weight and storage space. Contact Avimetal for development, manufacturing and partnership inquiries.
Supplied chart: Enclosed pallet container on P1P base; IATA code AAP; classification LD9; rate class Type 5. Chart internal volume 9.1 m³ (321 ft³ as printed); maximum gross 4624 kg (10194 lb as printed). Chart envelope labels 125 × 88 × 64 in. Imperial and metric figures are rounded and may differ.
Aircraft applications updated 25 October 2026: Modern conventional AAP references: Boeing 787-8, 787-9, 787-10 (IAG). Other references: Boeing 747, 767 and 777; Airbus A300, A310, A330, A340; DC-10, MD-11, L1011. A330-800/-900 and A350-900/-1000 are review candidates: pallet-base compatibility alone does not confirm an enclosed AAP contour. 777X and A350F require a separate loading-manual review.
Aircraft scope: A320neo/A321neo (including LR/XLR variants) use reduced-height LD3-45W/AKH configurations where a container loading system is installed; the full-height 64 in ULDs in this catalog are not interchangeable with LD3-45. Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A220 are not added as standard lower-hold applications for this catalog.
