Techniques are disclosed for cooling an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In some examples, a heat sink is coupled to a portion of the UAV that is to be cooled. One or more heat pipes are coupled to the shim, and extend to one or more propulsion engines of the UAV. Liquid in a heat pipe is heated to gaseous form at the heat sink, and the vapor travels to a portion of the heat pipe near the propulsion engine, where the vapor is cooled by air moved by the propulsion engine, upon which the vapor returns to liquid form and travels back to the heat sink.
