An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that includes: a front chassis defining an intake port; a rear chassis defining an exhaust port and providing a heatsink for the UAV; and a blower that is located immediately rearward of the intake port so as to facilitate unobstructed airflow through the intake port and into the blower. The blower is configured to direct air through the UAV along an airflow path that extends from the intake port to the exhaust port to thereby cool the UAV.
