Research abstract
Creare is proposing to develop a heater utilizing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) that will have high temperature uniformity and high optical transmission with low glare. By creating a variable effective sheet resistance across the windshield, we will be able to produce a robust design that can be flexed and easily scaled up to a production environment. In Phase I, we will fabricate and test a coupon sized CNT heater. We will work with our CNT manufacturing partner to develop materials with improved optical transparency and reduced sheet resistance. During the Option phase, we will begin the transition from flat coupons to curved substrates. During Phase II, we plan to continue the transition to complex surfaces and produce scaled heater laminates that represent the overall size and shape of the V-22 windshield.
