Did a little more research and found a good thread on the Vans site with a link for a very expensive unit designed for small aircraft. http://www.vansairforce.com/community/showthread.php?t=79120&highlight=oxygen+concentrator I have not looked at all the specs, but from what I have seen I would guess that the smaller medical units will not provide enough oxygen at higher altitudes. Might be OK if you just like to suck oxygen at 10,000' but maybe not at 15,000. Been looking for a low cost pulse demand regulator myself lately. I fly high a lot and just came back from Nashville this weekend at 11,500 and had to go to 13,500 for a bit to get over a bad haze layer while crossing a front.

I don't know why. I did find this interesting article on Wiki about them and it mentions in flight use. Not sure what flow rate you would need at the altitudes we typically fly at or what can be provided by the lower cost portable units. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_concentrator -------- Original Message -------- Subject: KR> anybody tried this for high altitude flying?
