Astronics’ 30% to 40% lighter weight
EmPower® UltraLite G2 passenger power system provides industry
leading power with less weight to help reduce carbon emissions.
“The level of enthusiasm, trust, and commitment our customers
have placed in Astronics reinforces that we are delivering
exceptional solutions tailored for each airline,” says Jon Neal,
President of Astronics Advanced Electronic Systems. “We’re thrilled
to be partnering with these airlines on both new deliveries and
cabin upgrade programs that will enhance the passenger
experience.”
Well-suited for retrofit and also offerable for linefit
applications, the UltraLite G2 system uses a distributed zonal
architecture, leveraging 800W power supplies with greater than 93%
efficiency and system intelligence at the seat. As a result, the
system can provide up to 60W of power at every seat with a
combination of USB Type A and the latest USB Type C outlets. This
allows maximum flexibility and airline customization, all while
reducing overall system and per seat weight by 30% to 40% when
compared with other power solutions installed and flying in the
market today.
“As airlines strive to reduce their environmental impact, we are
excited to empower them with a transformative solution that not
only provides industry-leading power at each seat, but also weighs
significantly less, which helps contribute to a greener and more
sustainable future for our industry,” stated Peter Gundermann,
Chairman, President and CEO of Astronics.
Astronics remains committed to its customer centric focus and
vision. This includes its passionate support in helping hundreds of
airline customers and their partners advance their aerospace carbon
neutrality initiatives.
