To reduce the overall emissions of aviation hybrid-electric propulsion concepts have a great potential satisfying this challenge. For fuel cell applications heat exchangers are required to dissipate the waste heat produced by the fuel cell. The integration of the heat exchangers has an impact on the aircraft aerodynamics. With a new tool implementation for the simulations of heat exchangers in the DLR-TAU code, a generic application case is calculated and analyzed.
