A thermal management system for an aircraft includes a first gas turbine engine, one or more first electric machines, a first thermal bus, and a first heat exchanger. The first thermal bus includes a first heat transfer fluid in a closed loop flow sequence, between the first gas turbine engine, the or each first electric machine, and the first heat exchanger. Waste heat energy generated by at least one of the first gas turbine engine, and the or each first electric machine, is transferred to first heat transfer fluid. When airspeed of aircraft is less than Mn0.6, the first heat exchanger transfers the waste heat energy from the first heat transfer fluid to a first dissipation medium. When the airspeed of the aircraft is greater than Mn0.6, the first heat exchanger is configured to transfer the waste heat energy from the first heat transfer fluid to a second dissipation medium.
