C-Coil: Redefining Efficiency in Aviation Ground Power

Essential Features of the C-Coil

🔹 Seamless integration under any PBB

The C-Coil is designed to fit all types of passenger boarding bridges (PBB) and is fully compatible with a wide range of aircraft, making it a universal solution for airports worldwide.

🔹 Optimized for 400Hz operations

Engineered to work in perfect harmony with the CDR F-400 90kVA frequency converter, the C-Coil ensures stable, reliable, and efficient aircraft ground power supply — a critical factor in today’s demanding aviation environment.

🔹 Tailored to airport infrastructure

Compact yet robust, the system is engineered for long-term performance even in high-traffic hubs, reducing operational risks and downtime.

🔹 Supporting operational efficiency

The unique coil design minimizes cable stress, simplifies handling, and enhances safety during aircraft servicing.

Why It Matters for Airports and Airlines

✈ Reduced turnaround time

By accelerating ground connection processes, airlines can cut turnaround time and maximize fleet utilization.

🛡 Improved safety and durability

Purpose-built coil architecture reduces wear and maintenance costs, while enhancing safety for ground personnel.

🌍 Future-ready infrastructure

Airports adopting advanced ground power systems position themselves as leaders in sustainability and efficiency.
 

The Competitive Landscape

The aviation Ground Support Equipment (GSE) market is rapidly modernizing. Key players focus on different aspects of GPU technology:

mobile and solid-state GPUs, emphasizing digital integration and energy efficiency.

large-scale gate equipment solutions, with strong presence in North America and the Middle East.

compact, mobile GPUs, popular for business aviation and regional carriers.

modular systems tailored for both civil and military applications.

What sets CDR Technology apart is its focus on customizable, infrastructure-ready solutions like the C-Coil — specifically developed to integrate under PBBs, a niche yet growing demand as airports look for seamless, long-life systems.

Market Context: Airports Driving Innovation

Global hubs are investing in automation, AI, and greener operations. Schiphol is testing robotic baggage handling, Frankfurt has launched AI-based turnaround tracking, and Tampa International is deploying LiDAR to optimize airside operations.

At the same time, ground power is under new pressure:

More electric and hybrid aircraft are entering fleets, requiring consistent 400Hz and DC supply.

Airlines are prioritizing shorter ground times to recover from congestion and delays.

Sustainability mandates are pushing airports to replace diesel-based mobile GPUs with fixed or hybrid systems.

In this context, the C-Coil emerges as a future-proof enabler, reducing handling strain, cutting energy losses, and supporting fully electrified airside operations.

Shaping the Future of Ground Power

The C-Coil is not just another component — it represents a strategic step toward safer, smarter, and greener airports. With aviation forecasted to double passenger volumes by 2040, the demand for reliable 400Hz infrastructure is no longer optional; it’s mission-critical.

CDR Technology’s portfolio expansion demonstrates its commitment to innovation in an increasingly competitive field, positioning the company alongside global leaders while carving out a specialized niche in integrated PBB ground power solutions.
