A cooling system in a hybrid electric propulsion gas turbine engine is provided for cooling electrical components therein. The cooling system includes an electrical component disposed in proximity to an aircraft power generation component in the hybrid electric propulsion gas turbine engine such that the electrical component is thermally heated by the aircraft power generation component. A loop heat pipe structure is in thermal communication with the electrical component to transfer heat away from the electrical component. Wherein the loop heat pipe includes an evaporator portion, a condenser portion, a first pipe to supply a biphasic working fluid in a liquid state to the evaporator portion, and a second pipe to return the biphasic working fluid in a gaseous state to the condenser portion.
