A breathing gas supply system for supplying breathable gas in an aircraft
includes an oxygen enriching apparatus which is operable in at least two
modes to provide product gas with varying oxygen concentrations. A first
feed line feeds more highly enriched product gas to one or more breathing
gas outlets, and a second feed line feeds less highly enriched product
gas e.g. to an aircraft cabin for breathing during normal high altitude
flight. A control means controls oxygen enrichment apparatus to provide
highly enriched product gas to the breathing gas outlet or outlets in the
first mode of operation or less highly enriched product gas e.g. to the
cabin for normal breathing, and controls a diverter valve. Which directs
the product gas to the respective feed line.
