One of the OSH aviation vendors had a two usb port black plastic jack
that looked like a drop in replacement for a cigarette lighter panel
hole. I don't have any other details other than it had a flip up plastic
cover and I believe it was intended to be wired directly to 12 volt power.

There are hundreds of options. The greatest risk for
most options are (1) expenditure of $time$ to integrate
the device into the airplane (2) performance to requirements
and (3) radiated and conducted EMC.
The technology is mature . . . 2 and 3 are relatively
low value risks. But one can spend a lot of hammer-n-tongs
effort making a 'clean' and robust installation. Condider
products tailored to the task like these

This would be a good value at 3x the price due to
it's ease of installation. No sheet metal work
what so ever except to cut usb connector clearance
holes.
