Cobalt Aerospace launches retrofit In-Seat Power System

Cobalt Aerospace, part of the IFPL Group, is launching a complete in-seat power system at MRO Europe 2022. The new service offers a simple and cost-effective buying solution for operators, making it easy for them to bring reliable, convenient power to passengers.

An all-in-one retrofit solution, the Cobalt Aerospace In-Seat Power System (ISPS) will allow operators to easily provide power to seats, empowering them to boost their business through enhancing the in-flight experience for passengers.

The Cobalt Aerospace ISPS includes everything required to bring reliable in-seat power to any aircraft, whether for one row of seats or an entire fleet. A completely bespoke solution, customers are able to choose anything from individual outlets to a comprehensive retrofit package including power supplies, cabling, and wiring harnesses.

The range of available USB outlets will be supplied by IFEC industry leader and three-times Queen’s Award for Enterprise winner, IFPL. Each outlet incorporates easy and rapid on-wing replacement thanks to IFPL’s innovative cartridge design.

Cobalt Aerospace Director and Co-founder Ben Brown, is excited about the possibilities this new product opens up for customers:

“Aside from creating a great passenger experience, each of our products is also dedicated to making life as easy as possible for operators and crew. Our ISPS does just that by offering a simple “one-stop shop” for in-seat power. Operators can select a custom package that suits the needs of their fleet exactly, making this a cost-effective way to being high quality in-seat power to passengers.”

Among the power outlets available either individually or as part of a packaged solution is the IFPL Reversible USB-A Module. This unique port allows the user to input a connector either way up, delivering bi-directional charging power which saves passengers the frustration of plugging a USB in the wrong way.

Cobalt’s partnership with IFPL means customers also have access to the innovative AdPower USB Module. Combining in-seat power with generating extra revenue on-board, AdPower offers passengers the option to purchase power or watch advertising in exchange for power. AdPower works alongside an operator’s app and is fully customisable.

Cobalt Aerospace are exhibiting alongside IFPL at MRO Europe from 19^th – 20^th October at booth #320. Visitors to APEX EXPO in Long Beach, California can also meet the team at booth #927 the following week.
