In general aviation, iPad Mini based electronic flight bags (EFB) are extremely prevalent. However, iPads are known to overheat in the cockpit. The kneeboard presented provides forced air cooling to the back of the iPad while allowing it to be secured to the pilot's leg.
Please note, this design is for only versions 4 and 5 of the iPad mini. Older versions of the iPad mini have a different thickness and will not fit in this design.
Design criteria:
Cooling is provided by 2, 40mm square by 10mm high axial fans with ducted cooling air
Power for the fans and iPad Mini supplied by a single USB connection
Kneeboard should be small
Kneeboard should be comfortable when strapped to the leg
Kneeboard should be buildable at a minimal expense
The complete kneeboard requires 1 of each: kneeboard top, bottom and ejector be printed and 2 strap holders to be printed.
