Just went to the Inogen web site. $3900 to $4300. Plus I assume insufficient output for two people being it's a medical device. I'd say Aithre is more than competitive.
@@jetjock60 wrong. Don’t go to the Inogen website they want to sell to people with a prescription so insurance will pay the astronomical price. There’s an aviation oxygen website that will sell the Inogen for $1800 and it’s efficient for two people up to 18k
That is wrong information. The Inogen website charges full prescription insurance retail price. There’s an aviation website that charges $1800 and the unit is good for two people up to 18,000 feet.
@@Captndarty Data and details if you would, please. I just found and read an old Aviation Consumer article form 2017 regarding the Inogen G5. First I'd heard of this application. It does appear you are correct. 😃
I would guess because it's a filtration system that removes nitrogen from atmospheric air, not a compressor with sufficient output pressure to fill a tank.
@@lohphat Adding it to pre-existing setups in something like a Turbo Bonanza would be well worth the 20 extra pounds. Ability to use higher altitudes with more people and not wasting time getting a tank filled...
This isn't even remotely the same thing and the video is incorrectly titled. The items on the crashed ValuJet flight were single-use, chemical oxygen generators, not a mechanical oxygen concentrator, which actually creates no oxygen itself, but simply concentrates the oxygen already in the atmosphere within the cabin. Larger, heavier and more power hungry versions of this same machine have been widely used in home healthcare settings for decades. My own grandmother lived with one at home for the last two years of her life, because she couldn't be without constant oxygen. They are extremely safe to use.
This will make my attempts to reach outer space easier.
This is an interesting application of an old medical technology. I might add that wearing an oximeter with alarm would be wise.
$5,400…. You can buy 2 Inogen gen5’s for that

FINALLY !!!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭
$5,355?! I’ll keep my oxygen tank.
why can't one of these be attached to a tank and it runs on it's own keeping your tank filled?
I would guess because it's a filtration system that removes nitrogen from atmospheric air, not a compressor with sufficient output pressure to fill a tank.
So you want to burn more gas and reduce useful load carrying around an unnecessary metal tank?

@@BonanzaPilot Sure if the tank is already on the MEL then fine. But adding a tank makes no sense to models not so equipped.
@@lohphat ok
Neat, prob expensive tho. And options to grow to a 4 person and 6 person model
He mentioned $5355 price point
Can buy a lot of aviation oxygen for that price
Generator? Concentrator...
Yes, that was my question also!
The 80s are over. Can we please stop adding "Turbo" to product names?
Sheesh. 🙄
I had a bicycle when I was a kid which had a turbo sticker displayed on it. i'm fairly sure it made the bike go a bit faster. 🤣
Inoggen G5 = $900
(Aithre way overpriced)
ValuJet Airlines Flight 592 - May 11, 1992 comes to mind
Hang on there. You're trying to compare chemical oxygen generators (Flight 592) to a filtration system? Apples and Oranges sir!
