Twist Aero's Boom Air Lite is a streamlined version of the company's proprietary Boom Air Hose Management System. The "Lite" version of the Boom Air product deploys 80 feet of hose, which covers the vast majority of ramp applications. The Boom Air Lite product is 30 percent lighter than the standard product and fills a substantially smaller dimensional envelope. Benefits of Boom Air include easier, faster one-person deployment and retraction of PCAir hoses, leading to faster turns. Additional economic benefit comes from significantly higher instances of attachment of PCAir hoses to the aircraft, which saves fuel from less APU burn at the gate.
