1. An aircraft, comprising a cooling facility for cooling a cooling target, wherein
the cooling facility has a first cooling circuit and a second cooling circuit that are independent of each other,
the first cooling circuit comprises a first circulation flow path that allows a first cooling medium to sequentially and repeatedly pass through the cooling target, a first pressure applying part provided in the first circulation flow path to apply a first extrusion pressure to the first cooling medium, and a first cooling heat exchanger provided on a downstream side of the first circulation flow path with respect to the cooling target to take heat from the first cooling medium,
the second cooling circuit comprises a second circulation flow path that allows a second cooling medium to sequentially and repeatedly pass through the cooling target, a second pressure applying part provided in the second circulation flow path to apply a second extrusion pressure to the second cooling medium, and a second cooling heat exchanger provided on a downstream side of the second circulation flow path with respect to the cooling target to take heat from the second cooling medium,
the first circulation flow path and the second circulation flow path do not communicate with each other,
the first circulation flow path is connected to the cooling target to which the second cooling medium passes through,
the second circulation flow path is connected to the cooling target to which the first cooling medium passes through, and
the cooling target comprises a plurality of cooling targets arranged in series in a flow direction of the first cooling medium and the second cooling medium.
