Air Liquide designs and manufactures gas production and distribution systems (oxygen and nitrogen) on board aircrafts. OBOGS range produces the oxygen breathed on board. OBIGGS range improves plane safety, thanks to a tank inerting system removing any risk of explosion of fuel vapours. The smoke hood offers flight personnel the protection required for organization of evacuation operations in the event of fire.

In order to meet the logistic requirements of both armies and airlines, Air liquide has developped ground devices: Gaseous Nitrogen Mobile generators for equipment service operations such as damper and tire inflation, or high pressure capacity filling, Gaseous Oxygen Mobile Generators for filling the pilot and crew oxygen bottles...

Air Liquide offers a wide range of miniature cryocoolers, able to cool down below 100 K the most advanced types of Infrared detectors, for optronic applications.
