Thermal management is a challenge for electric aircraft propulsion. This is because Current electrified aircraft concepts produce large amounts of low-grade waste heat and require large, heavy thermal management systems that cause drag. The High-efficiency Electric Aircraft Thermal Research project explored two ideas to solve this problem: building a low loss power system and using the aircraft skin to cool components through the outer mold line.
