Design and Test of a Structurally-Integrated Heat Sink for the Maxwell X-57 High Lift Motor ControllerAn innovative thermal management solution was conceptualized, built and tested for the X57 Maxwell electric airplane. A combination of commercial CFD codes and bespoke thermal modeling tools were employed to rapidly develop a structurally-integral power electronics heat sink. A structurally-integrated heat sink was devised for the GIMC-SCEPTOR high lift motor controller. The nacelle-conforming sink is designed to dissipate heat from the power electronics assembly while simultaneously acting as the mechanical load path between the wing structure and high lift motor.
