Small-Bottle O2: Aithre, Aerox Compacts

That's the new Aerox PrO2 Plus Flightbag Portable setup that's small enough to stash in a compact flight tote. With its fixed-flow regulator, it's good for roughly 3.5 hours of endurance.

No longer are there good excuses for not having oxygen in the cabin. Smaller-capacity oxygen tanks are relatively simple and inexpensive, and if you fly something where you’re counting every pound loaded in, composite tanks are featherweights. But there’s a capacity/endurance tradeoff.

Two latest aviation-focused small-bottle O2 interfaces come from Aithre and Aerox. We rounded them up and put the hose to the nose.
