Abstract
An all-electric trainer aircraft battery pack's safety, durability, and performance require a Battery Thermal Management System (BTMS) capable of maintaining batteries in their optimal temperature range regardless of potential adverse operating conditions. Currently available aviation battery packs generally rely on liquid-based BTMS that require coolant, pumps, and other components that add weight and complexity to an already low energy density system. In this paper, an electric aircraft BTMS based on a high-performance planar heat pipe assisted by a finned heat sink is proposed. Using a conceptual electric C172 trainer, the capacity of the BTMS to maintain the battery within optimal temperatures using different concepts of operations is evaluated for a touch & go training mission in cold, standard, and hot climates. Results show that it is possible to achieve safe battery temperatures during flight relying only on the thermal mass and proper pre-conditioning of the battery, without air inlets or air conditioning systems.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
