A thermal management system is provided. The thermal management system includes a housing extending between a leading end and a trailing end. The housing includes a cooling structure defining at least one inlet, at least one outlet, and a duct coupled in flow communication between the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet. The cooling structure is configured to generate a fluid flow from the at least one inlet to the at least one outlet through the duct in response to the housing moving through a fluid. The thermal management system further includes an electronics assembly disposed in contact with the cooling structure. The cooling structure is configured to transfer heat generated by the electronics assembly to the fluid moving through the duct to cool the electronics assembly.
