Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) contains information
on the thermal design requirements of airborne avionic systems used
in military airborne applications. Methods are explored which are
commonly used to provide thermal control of avionic systems. Both
air and liquid cooled systems are discussed.
Purpose:
This document describes guidelines for the configuration and
design of military aircraft subsystems that provide cooling to
airborne avionic systems and recommendations for the basic cooling
concepts, analytical methods and design practices used for the
thermal design of those airborne avionic systems. The efficient
design of the interface between the airframe system and the avionic
system is considered.
