dc.description.abstractProjects related to green aviation designed to achieve fuel savings and emission reductions are increasingly being established in response to growing concerns over climate change. Within the aviation industry, there is a growing trend towards the electrification of aircraft, with more-electric aircraft (MEA) and all-electric aircraft (AEA) being proposed. However, increasing electrification causes challenges with conventional thermal management system (TMS) and power management system (PMS) designs in aircraft. As a result, the integrated power and thermal management system (IPTMS) has been developed for energy-optimised aircraft projects. This review paper aims to review recent IPTMS progress and explore potential design solutions for civil aircraft. Firstly, the paper reviews the IPTMS in electrified propulsion aircraft (EPA), presenting the architectures and challenges of the propulsion systems, the TMS cooling strategies, and the power management optimisation. Then, several research topics in IPTMS are reviewed in detail: architecture design, power management optimisation, modelling, and analysis method development. Through the review of state-of-the-art IPTMS research, the challenges and future opportunities and requirements of IPTMS design are discussed. Based on the discussions, two potential solutions for IPTMS to address the challenges of civil EPA are proposed, including the combination of architecture design and power management optimisation and the combination of modelling and analysis methods.en_UK
