Abstract
A fuselage for a convertible aircraft is described, comprising a nose and a tail arranged on mutually opposite sides along a first longitudinal axis of the fuselage; a first portion and a second portion arranged one after the other, proceeding along the first axis from the nose towards the tail; and an electric power source connectable with at least one electric powertrain and arranged inside the second portion; the first and second portion define respectively a first and a second section in a plane orthogonal to the first axis; the second section defines at least one air intake that is open towards the outside of the fuselage itself and fluidically connected with the source so as to convey, in use, a flow of cooling air onto the source itself following the forward motion of the aircraft; the second section having a larger area than the first section; the air intake being arranged at a sidewall of the second portion and externally to the first portion and in a view parallel to the first axis.
