A brake disk with enhanced cooling features. The brake disk defines a plurality of channels with ribs located within those channels. Two friction plates are connected together by way of a plurality of vanes. The vanes define channels through which cooling air travels. The ribs extend from the surface of friction plates and are chevron shaped. The channels extend between an inner diameter of the brake disk and an outer diameter and direct cooling air from radially inner regions of the brake disk. The ribs create increased air turbulence and flow features which provide greater heat transfer, thereby providing improved cooling.
