Systems and methods for cooling a high voltage cable on an electric aircraft

A method for implementing a system for cooling a high voltage (HV) cable on an electric aircraft, comprising:

• opening, at a first side of a fuselage of the electric aircraft that is configured to receive the HV cable, a first venting closure movable between an open position and a closed position;
• opening, at a second side of the fuselage opposite the first side, a second venting closure movable between an open position and a closed position;
• wherein the first and second venting closures are configured to create a cooling channel between the first and second venting closures when the first and second venting closures are in the open position, wherein the cooling channel contacts the HV cable;
• and
• a sensor suite, including at least a gas sensor, communicatively connected to an actuator, wherein the sensor suite is configured to measure a triggering event;
• and
• the actuator configured to move the first venting closure to the open position as a function of the triggering event.
