A method of controlling cooling in an aircraft system includes endothermically cracking a fuel to increase its cooling capacity using a catalyst that includes at least one transition metal compound of at least one of carbides, nitrides, oxynitrides, oxycarbonitrides, oxycarbides, phosphides, and combinations, and the transition metal includes at least one of zirconium, hafnium, tantalum, niobium, molybdenum, tungsten, platinum, palladium, rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, osmium, rhenium, and combinations thereof. The cracked fuel is used to cool a heat source that includes an aircraft component.
