Systems and methods for optimization of lag for a pilot intervention
Systems and methods for lag optimization of pilot intervention is provided. A critical event may be identified while an electric aircraft is in an autopilot mode and operating primarily under autonomous functions; as a result, a flight controller of the system may switch from an autopilot mode to a manual mode, allowing pilot intervention. System made determine a lag duration as a function of the critical event and a phase of operation of the electric aircraft to determine a lag duration before pilot intervention occurs.
1. A system for optimization of lag for a pilot intervention in an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a sensor suite configured to detect a critical event of an electric aircraft;
a flight controller communicatively connected to the sensor suite, wherein the flight controller is configured to:
receive a critical event datum from the sensor suite;
identify a current phase of operation of the electric aircraft as a function of the critical event datum;
identify an urgency level of the current phase of operation and the critical event;
determine a lag duration as a function of the identified urgency level of the current phase of operation and the critical event, wherein the lag duration decreases as the urgency level increases; and
perform a control operation of setting an optimized lag duration based on the determined lag duration.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the current phase of operation comprises a landing of the electric aircraft.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the phase of operation comprises a takeoff of the electric aircraft.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the critical event comprises an engine failure of the electric aircraft.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the critical event comprises a hazardous weather condition.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the lag duration comprises an amount of time necessary for reversion from an autopilot mode to a manual mode.
7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a computing device, wherein the computing device is further configured to displaying the lag duration.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the electric aircraft is a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL).
9. A method for optimization of lag for a pilot intervention in an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
detecting, by a sensor suite, a critical event of an electric aircraft;
receiving, by a flight controller communicatively connected to the sensor suite, a critical event datum from the sensor suite;
identifying, by the flight controller, a current phase of operation of an electric aircraft as a function of the critical event datum;
identifying, by the flight controller, an urgency level of the current phase of operation and the critical event;
determining, by the flight controller, a lag duration as a function of the identified urgency level of the current phase of operation and the critical event wherein the lag duration decreases as the urgency level increases; and
performing, by the flight controller, a control operation of setting an optimized lag duration based on the determined lag duration.
10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the current phase of operation comprises a landing of the electric aircraft.
11. The method of claim 9 , wherein the current phase of operation comprises a takeoff of the electric aircraft.
12. The method of claim 9 , wherein the critical event comprises an engine failure of the electric aircraft.
13. The method of claim 9 , wherein the critical event comprises a hazardous weather condition.
14. The method of claim 9 , wherein the lag duration comprises an amount of time necessary for reversion from an autopilot mode to a manual mode.
15. The method of claim 9 , further comprising displaying, by a computer device, the lag duration.
16. The method of claim 9 , wherein the electric aircraft is a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft (eVTOL).
