Advanced Aerospace Heat Exchangers for Next-Gen Thermal Management
As aircraft systems become more electrified and power-dense, efficient thermal control is critical—modern jets require 15-20% more cooling capacity than previous generations while demanding 30% weight reduction. Aerospace heat exchangers now leverage cutting-edge designs and materials to meet these challenges without compromising reliability.
What We Do
At Schuster, we can engineer high-performance heat exchangers that optimize thermal transfer while withstanding extreme aerospace conditions—from subzero cruise altitudes to 1,200°F engine bay environments.
