Abstract

The paper analyzes the possibilities of using the thermionic cooling methods that significantly reduce the temperature and temperature stresses in the elements and structures of aircraft, increasing the life of thermally loaded elements and flight safety. We estimate the range of altitudes and flight speeds of aircraft at which the practical implementation of thermionic cooling is possible.
