The high thermal issues associated with aircraft electric systems are significant concerns that need to be addressed in the development and operation of electric aircraft. Electric systems, especially high-powered electric motors & power electronics, generate significant amounts of heat during operation. This heat must be managed effectively to prevent components from overheating and potentially failing. Current battery technology limits the range and endurance of electric aircraft. Overcoming these limitations to provide long-haul capabilities is a significant challenge. The energy density of batteries is lower than that of aviation fuels, making it challenging to store sufficient energy for long-haul flights without significant weight penalties.
