Introduced at last year’s Aircraft Interiors Expo, the new
wireless charging module has been adopted by numerous seat
manufacturers to provide fast, safe charging for passenger
electronic devices (PEDs) including smartphones. The WCM easily
integrates into the aircraft cabin environment with placement
options in passenger seats, furniture, or galleys, and provides
quick charging of Qi-enabled wireless devices.
“Business jet and VIP travelers expect the luxuries of home in
their aircraft, right down to how they keep their newest phones and
tablets charged,” explains Christine Ellis, Director of Business
Development for Airborne Power & Control at Astronics AES. “Our
wireless charger is flight proven and integration ready to bring an
upscale touch to your next business jet program.”
Astronics’ EmPower® in-seat power is already the industry’s most
adopted PED charging option with more than 280 airlines and
business aircraft OEMs providing EmPower systems for their
passengers and customers. The new wireless charging module
represents an easy way to provide the convenience of wireless
charging while creating a superior passenger experience.
The 15 watt charger is Qi (“chee”) certified and is compatible
with the most popular mobile devices offered from Apple®, Samsung
and others that are Qi-enabled. Astronics’ WCM is the only
Qi-certified wireless charging module available for aircraft, and
it is already linefit offerable by both Airbus and Boeing. Qi
certification ensures safety through testing as well as device
compatibility.
