Power Acoustics Flight screen 65 SR

A 65-inch television does not travel well in a car trunk, let alone the cargo bay of a touring truck. This multi-ply plywood flight case keeps it upright between foam blocks, stores its cables and remote control in a separate compartment, then closes with four butterfly latches. Lighter than the wheeled model in the same range, it can be carried by two people using its recessed handles and stacked thanks to its metal corners.

Multi-ply plywood and aluminum along every edge

The walls are made of multi-ply plywood: thin layers of wood glued together with alternating grain directions, creating a rigid panel that does not split under impact and moves far less than a solid wood board when humidity changes. The edges are protected by aluminum angle profiles, which withstand rubbing against door frames and loading ramps, and each corner has a reinforcement topped with a metal ball corner. These rounded corners absorb impacts at the corners, the most exposed area during handling, and provide support when stacking several flight cases. The closure uses four butterfly latches: turn the wing to lock the opening panel, then fold it back into its recess so it does not protrude from the wall. The case has a black finish, accented by the silver of the angle profiles and metal fittings.

A 65-inch screen without its stand, secured in foam

The interior accommodates a flat screen up to 1685 mm wide, 884 mm high and 73 mm thick. A 65-inch screen with a 16:9 aspect ratio measures approximately 1.45 m wide and just over 80 cm high once its stand is removed, so there is room to spare in both width and height. Thickness is the real deciding factor: 73 mm accommodates OLED televisions and most slim LED models, whereas some screens with thicker backlighting exceed this dimension at the rear. The stand must always be removed before transport.

Inside, dense foam blocks hold the screen by its edges and absorb road vibrations without pressing against the panel. A removable wooden divider creates a compartment for the stand, remote control, power cord and HDMI cables, so everything travels in the same case and nothing rubs against the screen. When this compartment is not needed, the divider can be removed.

Everyday carrying, loading and stacking

Empty, the flight case weighs 44 kg. A 65-inch television without its stand generally adds between 18 and 30 kg depending on the technology, bringing the total to around 65 to 75 kg: it takes two people to move it, each holding one end. The four metal handles are recessed into the walls, so they do not catch on doorways and leave the sides flat, making it easier to slide the case into a van and stack it.

At 247 mm deep, 1779 mm long and 944 mm high, the flight case fits through standard doorways and can be stored upright against a vehicle wall, secured with straps, taking up little floor space. This size suits event service providers installing screens at trade shows as well as installers delivering a television, equipment rental companies or individuals moving house who want their screen to arrive intact. The flight case has no wheels: over long distances on level ground, a handling trolley takes the strain out of carrying.

The SR or the Flight Ecran 65 MK2?

Power Acoustics offers two flight cases for a single 65-inch screen, with very similar external dimensions. The Flight Ecran 65 MK2 sits on a base with four integrated casters, has twelve handles and accommodates screens up to 100 mm thick, with an empty weight of 60 kg. The SR dispenses with the wheeled base and some of the handles to bring its weight down to 44 kg, with screen thickness limited to 73 mm. The MK2 caters to televisions with thicker backs and journeys where the flight case is wheeled over long distances; the SR suits slim screens carried by two people and regularly loaded into a vehicle, where every kilogram saved makes a difference.
