[00:00:00]The barrier is erected in just 3 seconds, [music] and the carrier aircraft launches immediately after.

[00:00:05]But, this seemingly ordinary panel is doing far more than it appears. Most people think it's just a simple shield, but [music] when a jet prepares to take off, its engines are already at full throttle, blasting exhaust at temperatures reaching around 1,500° C.

[00:00:19]Without protection, that heat and force could damage equipment on deck and seriously [music] endanger nearby crew.

[00:00:25]That is where this barrier becomes essential. It is not [music] made from basic materials, but from heat-resistant structures similar to those used on aircraft exteriors, designed to withstand extreme temperatures.

[00:00:36]>> [music] >> Behind it, a cooling system circulates massive amounts of seawater, rapidly reducing heat buildup and keeping the structure intact. At the same time, it redirects [music] the exhaust flow upward, preventing it from sweeping across the deck. This not only protects the carrier environment, but also stabilizes the launch process. [music] What looks like a simple board is actually a critical system, proving that on an aircraft carrier, even the smallest components are built to handle extreme conditions.
