A VTOL aircraft includes a plurality of tilt propellers configured to be rotated between a forward cruise configuration and a vertical lift configuration. A nacelle or other structure may be configured to form a low pressure zone from the wake of the tilt propellers when operating in the lift configuration. The low pressure zone may include an outlet side of a cooling path. Due to the low pressure, airflow may be induced through the cooling path even in the absence of strong air pressure at the inlet side. During a cruise operation when the VTOL aircraft is in forward motion, the nacelle or other structure may be aligned with a baffle to form an exhaust channel for the cooling airflow.
