Abstract
A tropical, salt‐laden atmosphere with all the resultant problems of sand, intense heat and plunging temperatures is certainly not an ideal environment for any aviation ground power system. These conditions do, however, represent just some of the problems that MPL Power Systems plc has had to overcome in order to win a major contract with Plessey Airports for Plaisance Airport on the island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. The contract is for the supply of five ‘super‐silenced’ decentralised, weatherproof 400Hz fixed ground power units, complete with crocodile type cable storage devices. Four units are to be located on the aircraft apron with the remaining unit within the ATR42 aircraft hangar.
