Description

ThermAvant Technologies (TAT) proposes a passive novel large-scale high thermal conductivity heat spreader for thermal dissipation of vertical takeoff and landing and short takeoff and landing aircraft exhaust. The heat spreader will be placed on top of or included into the ship’s aluminum deck to maintain maximum temperatures below material degradation limits. A successful Phase I prototype will demonstrate scale proof of concept heat spreading panels capable of reducing peak temperatures to safe levels and providing necessary structural integrity. Lastly, ThermAvant’s research team will work with agency, and interested primes to ensure Phase I designs and results are applicable to real-world systems and operating conditions.
