Abstract

An aerial vehicle including a set of rotors, a processor (111) configured to control the set of rotors for aerial vehicle flight, and a housing (120) defining a plurality of cooling channels (122), wherein, for each rotor of the set, a projection of the processor (111) and the cooling channels (122) onto the respective rotor plane (133) does not intersect the swept area (134) of the rotor, and a distance from the rotor axis (132) of a first rotor of the set to a cooling channel (122) is less than 75% of a rotor diameter of the first rotor. A method for aerial vehicle operation, including providing an aerial vehicle including a rotor, a processor (111), and a housing (120), flying the aerial vehicle, and, while flying the aerial vehicle, actively cooling the processor (111), including, at the rotor, forcing airflow toward the processor (111).
