350 Shipsets Already Delivered

Astronics has confirmed the delivery of 350 shipsets of the EmPower UltraLite G2 Power System since its launch in 2022.  

Better yet, the Company has a backlog of 300 more systems to be delivered by the end of 2024 demonstrating the rapid increase in adoption rate. The EmPower Ultralite G2 is both linefit offerable with aircraft OEMs and suited for retrofit applications. This makes it 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' 30% to 40% lighter weight EmPower UltraLite G2 passenger power system reportedly provides power with less weight to help reduce carbon emissions. Astronics' newest system, the EmPower Ultralite G2, uses a distributed zonal architecture, leveraging a nextgen 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 can allow 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.
