X-naut is partnering with Australia's Flightstore to make its products—including the iPad Mini Active Cooling Mount, iPad Air Active Cooling Mount and Kneeboarding Kit—available there. Launched in 2016, California-based X-naut develops solutions that address issues that arise when working with technology in extreme conditions.

X-naut's iPad products are designed to combat overheating due to direct sunlight in the cockpit. Designed by Nectar, the iPad cooling products were developed after conducting extensive thermal testing and analysis. The iPad cooling products use an injection-molded vent case and built-in cooling fan system to direct airflow. The cooling airflow helps prevent the sudden protective shutdown of iPads due to overheating.

Android tablet options are currently in development.
