Challenge
In the Past
Aircraft designed for peak power and peak thermal loads
Over-design offered future growth potential
Optimized based on mass and volume metrics
Today
3 to 5 times heat load of legacy aircraft
Limited ability to reject heat to environment
Increasing secondary power demands
Increased complexity
Future
Energy efficiency and optimization approaches
