Aircraft electric motors are described. The aircraft electric motors include a motor unit having a rotor and a stator, wherein the stator includes a plurality of windings and cooling channels arranged to provide cooling to the plurality of windings, a drive unit configured to drive operation of the motor unit, and a cooling system. The cooling system includes an oscillating heat pipe containing a first working fluid, wherein the oscillating heat pipe is arranged to pick up heat from at least one winding, the oscillating heat pipe having an evaporator section arranged in thermal contact with the at least one winding and a condenser section arranged away from the evaporator section and a heat pickup portion arranged to receive a second working fluid to remove heat from the condenser section of the oscillating heat pipe.
