    Abstract: A method for heating an unpressurized aircraft includes receiving a desired air temperature, calculating a target duct air temperature based on the desired air temperature, determining an actual duct air temperature via a duct air temperature sensor, calculating a target modulation of one or more ram air valves based on a difference between the target duct air temperature and the actual duct air temperature, modulating one or more of the ram air valves based on the target modulation, introducing a bleed air from a turbine engine to a heat exchanger, introducing a temperature control air from one of the one or more ram air valves to the heat exchanger for cooling the bleed air to provide a temperature-controlled air, mixing the temperature-controlled air from the heat exchanger with an ejector ram air in an ejector, and providing air from the ejector to an occupied compartment of the unpressurized aircraft.

    Abstract: An electric temperature control system for unpressurized aircraft and methods for operating are disclosed. The electric temperature control system may be electrically powered and used on all-electric aircraft or hybrid aircraft. The electric temperature control system may comprise a vapor cycle cooling system for cooling air and an electric heater for heating air. The electric heater may be a PTC electric heater with individually-controllable heating elements. Various input devices may be disposed in the aircraft allowing an operator to set a compartment temperature, an air source, and a fan speed. A controller controls operations of the electric temperature control system based on feedback received from a plurality of feedback devices and the operator inputs.
