Abstract

Thermal management system for unmanned aerial vehicles are disclosed. An example housing for an unmanned aerial vehicle includes a central portion defining a cavity. The housing also includes a first arm to support a first propeller. The first arm has a first proximal end coupled to the central portion and a first distal end spaced from the central portion. The first distal end defines an inlet. The first arm defines a first fluid path in communication with the inlet and the central cavity. The housing also includes a second arm to support a second propeller. The second arm has a second proximal end coupled to the central portion and a second distal end spaced from the central portion. The second distal end defines an outlet. The second arm defines a second fluid path in communication with the outlet and the central cavity. The inlet and outlet are in fluid communication via the first path, the central cavity and the second path.
