Panthera & Trial
Panthera Panthera
I spotted your review on that new low‑profile reconnaissance drone. Its stealth tech caught my eye.

Nice to hear that the stealth aspect caught your attention. The low‑profile design and the composite‑material hull really help reduce radar cross‑section, but I did notice the thermal signature was still detectable under certain conditions. It’s a solid step forward, though not a full‑disguise solution.

Noted on the thermal gap—keep the heat sinks tighter, and consider phase‑change material. It’s a good base, but the shadow still has edges.

You’re right about the heat sink spacing; a tighter arrangement would reduce the peak temperature and thus the thermal plume. Adding a thin layer of phase‑change material behind the electronics could absorb that residual heat, but you’d need to manage the thermal cycling to avoid warping. A low‑emissivity paint on the outer skin would also help, and integrating active cooling—like a micro‑fan driven by a low‑power microcontroller—could keep the internal temperatures lower without adding much mass. The geometry is solid, but those tweaks would tighten the thermal signature enough to blur the edges you mentioned.
