Abstract
A structurally-integrated battery pack may comprise an outer skin, an inner skin, structural foam, battery cells, and/or other components. Structural foam may be disposed between the outer skin and the inner skin. The structural foam may include battery voids and/or one or more cooling channels. Battery cells may be disposed within the battery voids. The battery cells within the battery voids and the structural foam may form layers. The layers may comprise a first layer including a first structural foam layer, a second layer including a first battery disposed within a first battery void, a third layer including at least a partial structural foam layer, and/or other layers. The partial structural foam layer may at least partially form a cooling channel. The outer skin, the inner skin, the structural foam, and/or the battery cells may be incorporated into a structural or non-structural element of an aircraft and/or vehicle.
