Abstract
An example propulsion engine includes at least one radial support structure (RSS) radially disposed about an engine centerline. A power cable is at least partially contained within a cavity of a first RSS or a cavity fluidically coupled to the cavity of the first RSS. The first RSS defines at least one cooling aperture fluidically coupling the cavity of the first RSS to an exterior surface of the first RSS. The at least one cooling aperture is configured to allow cooling fluid to flow into or out of the cavity of the first RSS to cool the power cable.
