The world's first O₂ generator built exclusively for aerial applicators. Installs in any Part 23 aircraft — simple logbook entry, no IA required. HOW IT WORKS The Turbo concentrates oxygen real-time while you fly, anytime, anywhere, using a fraction of the capacity of most general aviation electrical alternators. Based on proven pressure swing adsorption technology (PSA), and optimized for general aviation application, the Aithre Turbo packs a punch with continuous >96% pure oxygen at 1.4 LPM using just 3 amps or 80 watts. A high-performance compressor pump is used to pressurize intake air and feed it through zeolite sieve beds. The sieve beds retain the nitrogen in the air and pass oxygen through the adsorption technique (PSA). PSA is a proven method of oxygen generation in the medical field, but the Turbo is different in that it operates above 10k MSL where the air is thinner. NO BATTERY TO CHARGE Unlike medical portable oxygen concentrators, the Turbo does not use a Lithium battery. Instead, the Turbo relies exclusively on ship power 12-14V or 24-28V, using the aircraft battery or engine-driven electrical alternator. At just 80W or approximately 6 amps at 14V supply, the Turbo will fit within virtually any alternator capacity and this results in reduced maintenance, a longer service life, and increased flight safety. SMALL FOOTPRINT AND WEIGHT With a small footprint of 22.5 cm x 14.5 cm x 15 cm and a weight of just 6.8 lbs., the Aithre Turbo will free up space and expand useful load as compared to traditional legacy bottle systems. HEALTHVIEW, AITHRE CONNECT iOS, AND AVIONICS SUPPORT Aithre has pioneered the integration of health biometrics into the avionics of the aircraft, and the Turbo is no exception: the Turbo constantly monitors total flow, onboard temperature, pressure altitude, and faults. Data is output via BLE to the Aithre Connect iOS app. CONCENTRATION MONITORING The oxygen concentration produced by the Aithre Turbo is >93% for 2000 hours or 2 years, whichever comes first. There are two primary methods to verify the concentration and ensure that the Turbo is operating correctly, using the Aithre Illyrian II wearable oximeter and using a portable oxygen concentration tester. Continuously measured blood oxygen provides a direct indication of the sufficiency of breathing oxygen during flight. The Aithre Illyrian II is the only haptic wearable that provides a continuous readout of blood oxygen to modern avionics, the Aithre Healthview, the Aithre Connect iOS app, and via the native haptic vibratory alerts. It is the best way to monitor your blood oxygen and the verify the flow, concentration, and operation of the Turbo O2i. Additionally, a portable oxygen concentration tester can be used on the ground prior to flight to test the flow and purity of oxygen generated using the Turbo. The test is simple and takes just seconds to perform using an Aithre provided oxygen concentration tester. The Aithre Illyrian II and portable oxygen concentration tester are not included and must be purchased separately. MAINTENANCE Nothing is airborne for free, but operation of the Turbo is very cost-effective as compared to FBO transfilling costs. With the Aithre Turbo, there is a sieve bed replacement that will need to occur every 2 years or 2000 hours of usage to ensure high purity oxygen generation. There are two options for the maintenance, including either a mail-in service or a factory refurbished exchange with zero down time. Information on the same is accessible from our website main menu or via the separate maintenance product listings. SAFETY There are a number of significant safety benefits of the Turbo. Notably, the Aithre Turbo does not itself store any pure oxygen so the risks associated with carrying, transporting, and filling pressurized oxygen vessels can be eliminated. Additionally, the Aithre Turbo does not include any Lithium battery. While portable oxygen concentrators designed for medical purposes rely upon a Lithium battery, this is unacceptable for aviation environments due to the combination of pure oxygen, heat, and battery fire risk. The Turbo relies instead on clean continuous power directly from the aircraft alternator, ship battery, and any backup ship battery available. Other safety features include high temperature Tefzel internal wiring, three high speed cooling fans, over temperature monitoring with over temperature shutdown, and capacitive electrical noise reduction.
