A friend of mine told me that he had a socket in his armrest on a flight. I've never seen anything like it, have you?
Thanks for your answers.

Loading...For current reasons, I am wondering how long a 100 Watt/230V consumer with a 70 Ah/12V battery could be supplied via a 12/230 V voltage converter? I have already calculated this myself, but unfortunately I have lost the calculation method and the result, so I would be grateful for the formula as well as the…
If I place a protection circuit between the battery and a power source, and this source doesn't supply 5V but 2.4V or even less, will the battery still charge? Because it is deeply discharged as soon as its voltage drops below 2.4V.
I'm going on vacation soon and might take my vape with me. Would it be detected during the checks? Or how can I take it without my parents finding out?
Here in Berlin, we're constantly hearing reports of overcrowded regional trains to the Baltic Sea (e.g., the RE5 to Rostock)—and there's no alternative; even the IC trains there are quite full (from my own experience). And not everyone has a car. And then I discovered that Rostock has an airport where you can fly to…
Hello, I'm flying to Turkey with my sister tomorrow. We've booked a package holiday together. Each person is allowed 20 kg, so my suitcase weighs 22 kg and hers weighs 15 kg. Will this then be balanced out?
Hi, I'm traveling to Central America next March, and our stopover is Miami. We've decided to stay there for a full week. Now the question is how to make the most of that week. We don't really feel like partying or lying on the beach all day. I was more interested in areas like the…
Yes, with Business Class there is a socket at the place in some companies, but it is usually a special socket for which one has to have an adapter. In British Airways, for example, you can insert the plug of the car cable.
There are some airlines. If you want to know it for a specific type of airline, you can http://www.seatguru.com look. There it is also described whether and when what sockets are available.
depending on how the aircraft is equipped, it already has plugs. However, you can assume that for safety reasons it is maximally designed to charge a handy or operate a laptop. 2 amperes or something, if at all… after all, the airline for the operation of the socket a.) has to carry a very heavy converter, which eats on every mile of fuel, just for being on board, and he also has to endure a very strict maintenance interval. for this, there are increased requirements for the quality of the current it generates. high-frequency effects as they cause rectifiers of laptops and handylade devices also need to be suppressed… not to mention that the turbine must also supply the additional power…
a simple calculation example. in an A380 there are over 850 passengers. if now each 3rd of them has a laptop, we say 1 ampere operates at 230 volts. then this would already be more than 280 amperes (good 63 KW) alone the additional weight of distribution systems and copper lines would already make up a central bank car… not to mention the more loads of the turbines

Depends on the equipment. The first class has almost always a socket, the other classes arrive on the airline and which seats they have installed. In Economy Class the seats can also have sockets (seat has been designed for business), but they are almost never connected.
The aircraft works with 28V DC battery buffered for emergency systems, radios and the most important instruments and 115V/200V three-phase current with 400Hz (slot 230V/400V with 50Hz as our power grid) from the generators in the turbines.
In order for the voltage and frequency to fit and thus plugged-in devices to not interfere with the aircraft electronics, a converter is needed and it has only a limited power, so you cannot simply provide 230V or 110V to every passenger and anywhere in the aircraft!
I think the first class has something like that, I mean. In the meantime, I think there’s even internet connection. No longer flew…
So I don’t believe sockets but there are headphones ports… but who knows vll. is there with the sockets I personally know only headphone connectors
In some aircraft (larger machines on long distances), there are actually sockets, especially. In Business Class.
