As the industry's most powerful and intelligent cabin power system for charging passenger electronic devices, the EmPower Ultralite G2 is both linefit offerable with aircraft OEMs and well-suited for retrofit applications. This makes it ideally suited for carriers with mixed fleets that want to provide a consistent passenger experience.

"Our goal was to intersect the market need for high power USB Type C with a lighter weight solution,” said Jon Neal, President of Astronics AES. “While we were optimistic about the industry adoption rate, the universal market reaction across all regions, aircraft platforms, and installation applications has exceeded our expectations.”

Astronics' newest system, the EmPower Ultralite G2, uses a distributed zonal architecture, leveraging a next generation power supply 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, while reducing overall system and per seat weight by 30% to 40% when compared with other power solutions currently installed.

Astronics’ customer-centric focus and vision supports hundreds of airline customers and their partners in advancing their aerospace carbon neutrality initiatives as they strive to reduce their environmental impact.
