What Does GPS Stand For?
GPS stands for Ground Power Supply
GPS, or Ground Power Supply, refers to a critical system used to provide electrical power to aircraft while they are on the ground, ensuring that essential systems such as lighting, cabin climate control, and onboard electronics remain operational without the need for the aircraft's engines to be running. This system enhances operational efficiency, reduces fuel consumption, and minimizes emissions during ground operations.
