1. A system for an electric machine associated with a gas turbine engine of a vehicle, comprising:
a shield configured to be coupled to the electric machine, the shield including a first wall opposite a second wall with a flow passage defined between the first wall and the second wall, the first wall defining an inlet port at a first end that is opposite an outlet port defined between the first wall and the second wall at a second end, the inlet port and the outlet port in fluid communication with the flow passage; and
an airfoil coupled to the shield proximate the second end to extend radially from the shield, the airfoil defining an airfoil inlet at a leading edge that is in fluid communication with an interior of the airfoil, the interior of the airfoil in fluid communication with the inlet port and the interior of the airfoil is configured to receive an aerodynamic support to couple the electric machine to the gas turbine engine.
