Thierry Dubois is a freelance writer specializing in helicopters, business aviation and aerospace technology. He earned a degree in fluid dynamics from an engineering school in Toulouse, France in the mid-1990s. At an unexpected crossroads, he found his first job in journalism. In 1997, he started working for French aerospace weekly Air &amp; Cosmos in Paris. This lasted until 2000, when he moved south to Lyons. He then became a freelancer, working for various aerospace publications and has been part of the AIN team since late 2000. In addition to writing about business aviation, Thierry shares responsibility for the rotorcraft section. He also is a regular on-site writer for AIN’s daily editions at international airshows such as the Paris, Farnborough, Dubai and Singapore shows, as well as at EBACE in Geneva.
In 2007, he won the Honeywell award for “Best systems or technology submission” at the Aerospace journalist of the year awards. In 2013, he won an Aerospace Media Award for the "Best Safety, Training &amp; Simulation Submission."
In other activities, Thierry moderates international conferences on aviation technology topics. Thierry is married and has three children, who seem to begin enjoying the mountains–as their parents do.

Parker Aerospace (Hall 4 Stand A16) has designed a new liquid-cooling demonstrator for embedded electronics. The so-called liquid flow-through (LFT) electronics chassis can cool up to 4,000 watts. It was built with both civil and military applications in mind.

The system is entirely self-contained, which means the liquid cooling system works in closed loop. It is composed of coolant, control system, pump, filter, accumulator, heaters for cold-system startup and three different board-level heat-absorbing technologies. These are supposed to demonstrate the variety of options available to the systems integrator.

Parker’s LFT chassis can cool a maximum of 850 watts per slot. The maximum total can be 2,000 watts with dielectric fluids such as hydrofluoroethers and synthetic oil. It can reach 4,000 watts with non-dielectric fluids such as water or water/glycol mixtures.

The LFT chassis can operate from minus 40 to plus 85 degrees Celsius.&nbsp; According to the Irvine, California-based company, it only needs a standard eight-inch high, 10-inch wide and 20-inch long enclosure. 

In other news, there has been a reshuffle in Parker Aerospace’s top management. John Meston has been named group vice president for the Fluid Management and Control Systems branch. Within the branch, Carl Moffitt has been named vice president and general manager of the Control Systems Division. Greg Crowe has been promoted to general manager of the Air and Fuel Division. Cindi Little has been appointed general manager of the Nichols Airborne Division. Greg Bierlein is the new general manager of the Hydraulic Systems Division. Finally, Jeff Rolf has been appointed group marketing director for Europe.
