Environmental Responsibility

Committed to Decarbonizing the Aviation Apron

Commercial airliners burning jet fuel in their Auxiliary Power Units (APUs) while parked at gates generate immense carbon emissions, particulate soot, and tarmac noise. Falcon's integrated 400Hz solid-state Ground Power Units (GPU) and Pre-Conditioned Air (PCA) systems eliminate the need for APU operation, cutting ground turn carbon emissions by up to 60%.
