Miami, Florida – STG Aerospace has received STC approvals from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for its next generation, photoluminescent, emergency floorpath marking system. Its safTglo SuperSeal UltraLite (SSUL) is now FAA and EASA approved for Airbus 320 and EASA approved for Boeing 747, 757, and 737 airplanes.
STG Aerospace first launched safTglo in 1995. With its patented fully-sealed design that eliminates fluid ingress, safTglo offers a low-cost, low-weight improvement over electrical emergency systems and can reduce maintenance costs by up to 80%. It requires no power source and can be retrofitted to almost any aircraft. It has been approved and certified for installation on many aircraft types and is the emergency floor path system for more than 300 global airlines and 9,000 aircraft worldwide.
SuperSeal UltraLite (SSUL) represents the next generation safTglo product, and incorporates the same benefits of previous designs but is 70% lighter – helping to reduce airline fuel costs – and 17% brighter. The safTglo SSUL product features a reduced profile, making it suitable for modern light weight carpets, and a one-piece design with no end caps which that can be cut to length and sealed during installation.
With more than 300 color options and a pattern-matching service available, safTglo SSUL enables airlines to achieve aesthetically pleasing, coordinated cabin interiors in line with their corporate branding without reducing safety. In addition, carpet edges can be concealed with the OverCarpet polycarbonate housing option that features a hinged-wing design and removes the need for carpet binding – saving additional cost and further enhancing cabin appearance.
Nigel Duncan, CEO of STG Aerospace, commented: “As an innovator of light in the aircraft passenger cabin, STG is expanding the boundaries of lighting technology to help OEMs, airlines, and MROs meet new challenges.”
