Future air vehicles will increasingly incorporate electrical powertrains that require very tight integration of power, propulsion, thermal, and airframe technologies. These complex and highly integrated sub-systems present a new exergy utilization and thermo-economics challenge due to the significant and highly distributed low-grade waste heat being produced. One system-wide solution is proposed that utilizes acoustic thermal energy conversion technologies to simultaneously provide thermal management and waste energy recycling for the entire vehicle. This system level solution serves to optimize aircraft exergy utilization.
