The Little Things That Make a Big Difference at 40,000 Feet

When people think about upgrading a cabin, the first things that come to mind are usually large, visual features. Seats, finishes, windows, and entertainment systems tend to get most of the attention. But anyone who spends time in the air knows the truth. The overall comfort of a flight often comes down to smaller, often invisible details.

Being able to charge your device without searching for the right cable or outlet matters. Having access to power that works the way you expect it to creates confidence. When you get that kind of reliability in every seat, it makes the entire aircraft feel more capable.

Mid Continent Controls focuses on the systems that quietly make this kind of comfort possible.

Modern Charging That Meets Real Needs

Passengers are bringing more devices into the cabin than ever before. Phones, tablets, laptops, and headphones all need power. USB-C has become the standard across nearly all of them, which means cabins need to adapt.

Mid Continent Controls offers 60 watt USB-C Power Delivery outlets that meet this need directly. These chargers are TSO-C71 certified and capable of powering everything from phones to laptops at full speed. Parts like the Combination Outlet with Dual USB-C Charger ports and AC outlet (USB-C with AC outlet) are built for flexibility, speed, and simplicity.

These outlets deliver consistent, intelligent charging. Passengers do not have to carry multiple adapters or worry about compatibility. They just plug in and focus on what they need to do.

Built for Aircraft Integration

Mid Continent Controls designs its cabin power products to work with the power systems already found in most business jets. Whether your aircraft runs on DC or AC power, select models are available to match.

Products are available in multiple connector styles, so they install cleanly into different panel layouts without the need for major modifications. This helps reduce downtime and keeps the upgrade process simple.

Every unit is tested and certified to meet the same standards trusted by aircraft manufacturers, ensuring long-term durability and reliable performance in real-world flight conditions.

Hardware That Stays Out of the Way

Passengers should not have to think about the technology around them. The best cabin systems are the ones that quietly do their job without calling attention to themselves.

MCC chargers are designed to run cool, stay quiet, and hold up under heavy use. They are compact, cleanly integrated into the aircraft interior, and reliable under pressure. The goal is not to show off more features. It is to remove friction from the flying experience.

When the right power is available, in the right place, the cabin just feels more usable.

Meeting Expectations Without Overcomplication

Today’s flyers expect to board with a ten percent battery and walk off fully charged. That is no longer a bonus. It is baseline functionality for modern cabins. MCC products are built to support this expectation while minimizing load on the aircraft’s electrical system.

By focusing only on what matters and avoiding unnecessary complexity, MCC gives operators and OEMs a clear path to improving the passenger experience without overhauling the cabin.

Ready to Make a Real Difference?

Upgrading your cabin does not always mean redesigning everything. Sometimes, it just means adding the right technology in the right place.

Mid Continent Controls builds FAA-certified cabin power products that deliver exactly what passengers expect, with none of the guesswork.
