Thermal Management in Military Aircraft a Challenge - Boeing
Today's aviation, vetronics, and other applications in mil-aero require more power, but have less space—this contributes to higher thermal loads and less opportunity to drive the heat out.
The thermal-management options available to the mil-aero industry include those such as conduction cooling and liquid flow-through cooling—as well as presented specifics about VITA circuit cards, ANSI/VITA documents, and other thermal-management information.
Interest in and use of directed energy weapons and electric aircraft are growing, and these innovations require ultra-efficient energy systems. Some technologies that Boeing is investigating are lightweight carbon thermal-management systems, as well as fuel cells, CNT thermal interface, and spray cooling.
