One embodiment is an aircraft having a least one of an aircraft motor or an aircraft motor drive, and a metal-air fuel cell. The aircraft has a waste heat transfer system including a diverter system. The diverter system selectively couples the metal-air fuel cell and the at least one of the aircraft motor or the aircraft motor drive. The aircraft has a control system to operate the waste heat transfer system to selectively transfer waste heat from the at least one of the aircraft motor or the aircraft motor drive to the metal-air fuel cell. The control system determines a power output status of the metal-air fuel cell, and to operate the diverter system to transfer the waste heat from the at least one of the aircraft motor or the aircraft motor drive to the metal-air fuel cell in response to determining the power output status.
