VITA 48.8 AIR-FLOW COOLING Almost Doubles Avionics Payload

摘要

Reducing size, weight, and power (SWaP) always tops the designer's checklist when it comes to rugged defense and airborne systems. Nowhere is it more paramount than with smaller airborne systems like drones. Heavy conduction-cooled systems provide the performance needed for these applications, but the added weight and cost can make some solutions impractical. Another approach was needed so that hotter, higher-performance commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) systems could operate without weighing down the overall device.
