SPV Exhausts
The solar-powered ventilator (SPV) from Tanis Aircraft Services exhausts hot air from your parked aircraft. The SPV fits easily in the aircaft’s pilot window, forming a weather-tight seal that is as secure

By introducing fresh, cooler air into the cockpit, the SPV
protects avionics, instruments, and the interior from heat damage. The solar pad can supply power to cell phones,
GPS, hand-held transceivers, or computers.
