Abstract

An aircraft cooling system includes a first coolant stream which cools at least one first heat load and a second coolant stream which cools at least one second heat load. The aircraft cooling system is formed such that the first heat load and the second heat load are thermally coupled together. The first heat load and the second heat load can be formed by two mutually redundant aircraft components. A third coolant stream thermally couples the first heat load and the second heat load together. The third coolant stream can be cooled by a heat sink, such as the outer skin of the aircraft in a bilge region.
