Edwardsburg, Mich.: AirCraft Industries, Inc. (dba Sky Ox) will launch its latest advancement in portable oxygen systems for pilots and passengers with the unveiling of its new design oxygen regulator. Sky Ox will exhibit and demonstrate the new product during the April 8-13 Sun-N-Fun air show in Lakeland, Florida. The new design replaces the current design regulator equipped on the seven models of Sky Ox portable oxygen systems, and it will be available in two (model Sky-2) and four (model Sky-4) port styles. No tank modification is required and a wrench is no longer needed for installation.

Susan Klemm, AirCraft Industries President, said, “The new design regulator is sturdier and more durable than the old regulator. More important, it is considerably more accurate in oxygen flow-rate than the previous regulator because you can dial-in the exact setting you require. You no longer have to adjust the flow-rate by ‘how it feels’, it is a much more user friendly design.”

“The new regulator design is a result of feedback from our customers,” said Walt Smiles, CEO. “We listened to our customers, and they told us that they wanted a regulator that provided for more exact oxygen flow-rate settings and an easier method to attain the settings. The new regulator satisfies those expectations. The product has been in development and testing for about a year, and it is now ready to fly.”

The purchase price of a portable oxygen system with either the two, or four, port regulator will be discounted by 15% if purchased at Sun-N-Fun, cash-n-carry. The padded accessory carry bag also will be available to purchase at the show. Product will be available to purchase at the Sky Ox Booth B-62.
