An assembly is provided for a rotorcraft. This rotorcraft assembly includes a fuselage, a tail boom, an air system and a cooling system. The tail boom projects longitudinally along a centerline out from the fuselage. The air system includes an air flowpath. The air flowpath passes from the fuselage into the tail boom and extends longitudinally within the tail boom. The cooling system includes a first heat exchanger and a coolant flowpath extending through the first heat exchanger. The first heat exchanger is arranged with the tail boom. The first heat exchanger is configured to transfer heat energy between system air flowing in the air flowpath and coolant flowing in the coolant flowpath.
