Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, an aircraft comprises a battery pack mounted external to the aircraft structure. The batteries are configured to vent directly to the environment during battery thermal runaway. In one embodiment, an aerodynamic fairing provides an aerodynamically efficient surface and weather protection during nominal flight conditions. During battery thermal runaway however, the aerodynamic fairing is configured to expose the battery to the environment.
