    Abstract: An electric propulsion system of an aircraft includes an electrical generator and a cooling device of the electrical generator. It further includes at least one thermoacoustic engine and a heat transfer circuit configured to transport heat dissipated by the electrical generator to the thermoacoustic engine. The cooling device of the electrical generator is at least partially powered by energy from the thermoacoustic engine.

    Abstract: A method for applying a coating to at least one face of a substrate made of thermoplastic composite material, wherein the method includes a step of applying an adhesive polydopamine layer to the face of the substrate before applying the coating to enhance the adhesion of the coating to the substrate. A thermoplastic composite material substrate thus coated is provided. A method for applying a coating to a composite material panel forming part of the outer skin of an aircraft is provided, wherein a zinc or graphene particle-filled adhesive polydopamine layer is applied to the panel before the coating is applied to enhance the adhesion thereof to the panel. An aircraft comprising a panel thus coated is provided.
