Abstract
A louvre system controls a flow of cooling air to a heat-generating element mounting inside a wing of an aircraft. The louvre system includes a louvre operably connected to the wing and structured to be rotatable to control airflow through an air intake of the wing into an interior of the wing. A louvre actuation mechanism is operably connected to the louvre and configured to control rotation of the louvre. A memory is communicably coupled to a processor and stores a louvre control module configured to autonomously control operation of the louvre actuation mechanism to control rotation of the louvre responsive to a temperature of a heat-generating element mounted in the wing interior.
