Every Kilo Counts

An aircraft fuselage is wet from accumulated and trapped moisture due to fuselage condensation - causing excess weight - resulting in higher fuel consumption and more than required emissions of greenhouse gases.

Standard-fitted solutions rely on passive means only; designed to lead condensate water to the belly and then to drain on ground. Passive means are not efficient enough to curb moisture issues in today’s operational environment with more seats and higher load-factors - shorter turnarounds and longer flights.

The CTT Anti-Condensation system is the only measure that tackles the root-cause of fuselage condensation. Several airlines have in dedicated trials already after 2 - 3 months of moisture protected operations recorded a weight loss of 200 - 300 kg in narrowbodies, reducing block fuel burn with 0.4 - 0.6 % and cutting CO2 emissions with 65 - 95mt per year. Another airline proven benefit is a documented 40% reduction of unscheduled electrical component changes per 1,000 flight hours. Non-condensing airplanes are always lighter and more sustainable with less moisture issues. The CTT Anti-Condensation system is a green technology that makes flying a little more sustainable!

SOLVES THE HUMIDITY PARADOX

CTT Systems is the market leading provider of humidity control products in aircraft, including Moisture Control Systems to prevent fuselage condensation, and inflight humidifiers – Humidifier On-board – for crew and passenger well-being.

Humidifer Onboard is improving wellbeing and wellness in flight deck and crew rests on more than 1,000 widebody commercial airliners and more than 100 VIP aircraft. This highly appreciated climate feature has started to migrate to the premium passenger cabin and large-cabin, long-range business jets.

The weight cutting Anti-Fuselage-Condensation system is a green technology and the only measure that tackles the root-cause of condensation – reducing fuel consumption and cutting CO₂ emissions.

All products are available for retrofit installations and line-fit on Airbus A380, A350, Boeing 787 and 777X. The crew humidifier is standard equipment in a crew rest compartment on Boeing 787 and standalone option in the crew rest compartment on A380, A350XWB and B777X. The flight deck humidifier is SFE listed on Airbus A350XWB, Boeing 787 and Boeing 777X. Inflight Humidification (IFH) – Humidifier On-board – is SFE listed for First/Business Class on A350XWB (Zone 1-3) and Boeing 777X (Zone 1 and 2). The Anti-Fuselage-Condensation system is SFE listed on A350 and is SFE-selected for the A320 Family.
