A lot of suffering prior to takeoff can be avoided with a robust air conditioning system as part of an airplane’s environmental control system (ECS). Textron Aviation has now improved the experience both in the cabin and on the flight deck with the addition of electrically driven air conditioning on its new production King Air 360 models.
Deliveries with the new system—providing cool air both on the ground and in flight—are set to begin next month from the company’s home base in Wichita, Kansas.
