Rest products are commonly used during travelling and leisure activities and span from small accessories such as travel pillows and camping mats to complete bed systems used in airlines, corporate jets, railways, ships and other means of transport.

In aircraft operating on long haul flights, secret compartments equipped with lie-flat beds are used for crew to rest and sleep. On smaller aircraft,  a few rows of passenger seats in the passenger cabin are reserved for crew rest. 

Different types of mattresses integrating respective technologies are offered by various manufacturers depending on their intended application.Air mattresses (aka Air beds) utilize a series of air chambers to provide sleepers with comfort and support.Their benefits include a lightweight design, low price, and easy storage. Memory foam mattresses are made up of several dense foam layers and provide benefits such as pressure relief from conforming to the body, enhanced spinal alignment, and motion isolation.Some models include cooling technologies to counteract heat retention. Commonly used as mattresses for crew rest in aviation meeting U.S. Federal Aviation Regulation FAR 25.853  that sets flammability standards for materials used in aircraft interiors. Hybrid mattresses offer a balance of comfort and support by combining foam layers with a pocketed coil system. Their benefits include pressure relief, better spinal alignment, improved airflow for cooling, and reduced motion transfer. Natural latex mattresses are environmentally friendly  and considered to last longer than traditional ones. Also offered from synthetic latex. These mattresses offer pressure relief by conforming to body curves while maintaining spinal alignment, are resistant to dust mites and mold, and have an open-cell structure for better airflow.

Complete bed systems in Aviation are commonly encountered in private jets, corporate aircraft , VIP cabins & lounges but also as commercial jet retrofits. Portable systems are equipped with a rechargeable battery-powered air pump as an inflation mechanism of the foundation and folding the ends of the mattress  in place over the aircraft seats. Bed accessories such as matrtress covers, pillows, and linen are also offered. 

Listed products and materials are supplied as OEM parts of their respective manufacturers or as parts of our own labelled (AVIATIONEU NEW ERA) product lines. For additional information please refer to the supplied documentation or contact us.

(*) Retread tires have undergone a remanufacturing process to replace the worn tread on used tires with new tread to help extend the life of the tire. The number of times the  tread has been replaced in the tire casing is indicated by a number just after the letter "R" in the product reference number (SKU), namely R1, R2, R3 and so on.

Manufactured to the highest standards, the Andair standard fuel selector range incorporates 1/4"(FS16), 3/8"(FS20) and the 1/2"(FS25) valves. These valves allow for multiple tank switching of one fuel line. Duplex fuel selectors are also offered  (see separate product presentations). FS16, FS20 and FS25 series of fuel selectors are designed for safety, provide a precise and smooth feel in operation  and come in different types, ranging from Type 1 ON/OFF shut off valves to valves with multiple positions. To prevent the pilot switching the wrong tank or turning the fuel off they feature  a large red lever with 'Fuel' engraved on it and a clearly labelled fascia plate to indicate which tank has been selected. It allows for a good solid detent at each tank position and also the button on top of the lever must be raised to switch the fuel off.

FS20 series 3/8" fuel selectors provide a choice of lower and side fittings, and all units can be operated with an extension and universal joints. They come in the following types:

Type 1 (FS20-1): simple 3/8” ON/OFF shut off valve with 90 degrees action between the two positions. There are two ports and either port can be used as the inlet or outlet.

Type 2 (FS20-2): Three way 3/8” fuel selector with positions LEFT-RIGHT-OFF and a 90 degree action between each tank selection. No lower fitting for use where there is little space behind the valve. 

Type 3 (FS20-3): three way selector with the positions LEFT - RIGHT - OFF. Generally used in low wing aircraft with a tank in each wing.

Type 4 (FS20-4): Designed for high wing aircraft, it has four lever positions OFF - LEFT - BOTH – RIGHT with a 90 degree action between each position.There are 3 ports. The lower port is the outlet to the engine and can be Male AN-6, Female 1/4NPT or a  360 degree Banjo adjustable fitting with a male AN-6 end.

Type 5 (FS20-5): 4 way Fuel Selector ( 3 tanks and OFF ) with positions LEFT - MAIN - RIGHT - OFF, each at 90 degree intervals.

Type 7 (FS20-7): Newest in the range 3 way fuel selector with positions LEFT - RIGHT - OFF. The inlets are at the 45 degree positions, to the LEFT and RIGHT, and the outlet is at the base of the valve. FS20-7 has been designed for centre consol mounting.

Type 8 (FS20-8): 5 way Fuel Selector ( 4 tanks and OFF ) with positions LEFT TIP - LEFT - RIGHT - RIGHT TIP - OFF, each at 72 degree intervals.
