Société Constructions d'Aviation Légère (SCAL) was a small French aircraft manufacturer of light aircraft during the 1930s and 1940s.
Company history

The company designed and built a small series of light two-seat sporting and touring aircraft for use by private pilot owners. The last design appeared c. 1938 and the company is no longer in existence.
