Concentrators are just barely starting to become a commodity recently. Refilling bottles with oxygen is not an option in a lot of European and Asian airports.
The eclipse and Inogen models seem to be the most suitable but expensive. The oxyfly is not practical for a 2 person plane. Airliners use pressurised air from the engines or a separate air compressor. And chemical oxygen generators for ten minute emergency oxygen. A small air compressor with a mask and demand regulator will not be practical neither. But Above 15000 feet even concentrated oxygen need to be pressurised.
