Abstract: A battery cooling system is described, including a thermally conductive cooling plate having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A first group of battery cells may be disposed on the first surface of the cooling plate, a second group of battery cells may be disposed on the second surface of the cooling plate, and a thermally conductive interstitial layer may be coupled between the cooling plate and the first group of battery cells, and between the cooling plate and the second group of battery cells. The cooling plate is configured to draw heat from the first group and the second group of the battery cells.

Abstract: In an example, a rotor for an electric motor includes an inner hub, an outer rim, and a plurality of slats. Each slat of the plurality of slats has a first end at the inner hub and a second end at the outer rim. The rotor is configured to drive a plurality of propeller blades that provide force for an aerial vehicle. Additionally or alternatively, a rotor for an electric motor includes a housing that includes a first retaining structure and a second retaining structure that are configured to apply a force that is directed radially outward against a magnet to hold the magnet against the housing. The rotor is configured to drive a plurality of propeller blades that provide force for an aerial vehicle.
