Title: Thermal management of power systems on future aircraft.

Abstract:

The decarbonization of the aviation industry is forcing a complete rethink of the technology landscape required for future aircraft. In particular, the next generation of aircraft will face new challenges in thermal management at component, and systems, level. This talk will focus on some of these emerging challenges, and resultant opportunities, where the need for innovative thermal management solutions is critical to deliver the future of aviation.
