Thermal management of power system components is one of the barriers identified towards the implementation of Electrified Aircraft Propulsion architectures. This paper documents the preliminary results of a trade space exploration of thermal management systems conducted for a new National Aeronautics and Space Administration regional transport aircraft concept called the SUbsonic Single Aft eNgine (SUSAN) Electrofan. Traditional methods of thermal management are evaluated alongside newer methods, which are still in development. Mass, power, and drag for traditional liquid / air heat exchangers were calculated, along with mass and area of oscillating heat pipes for outer mold line cooling. An initial assessment of the feasibility of using the fuel as part of the thermal management system was also conducted by evaluating the temperature over the full flight profile. Preliminary results and future work are discussed.
