    Abstract: An aircraft system is provided. The aircraft system includes: a gas turbine engine; a fuel system having a fuel tank and a fuel delivery system fluidly connecting the fuel tank to the gas turbine engine; an electric drive assembly including a component module; and a thermal management system including: a thermal fluid loop; a heat source heat exchanger in thermal communication with the component module and the thermal fluid loop; an airflow heat sink heat exchanger in thermal communication with the thermal fluid loop and further configured to be in thermal communication with a cooling airflow during operation of the gas turbine engine; and a fuel heat sink heat exchanger in selective thermal communication with the thermal fluid loop, the fuel tank, or both, the fuel heat sink heat exchanger in fluid communication with the fuel tank independently of the fuel delivery system during at least a first operating condition.
