Systems and methods for in-flight re-routing of an electric aircraft
In an aspect of the present disclosure is a system for in-flight re-routing of an electric aircraft including a battery pack configured to provide electrical power to the electric aircraft; a sensor configured to detect at least a temperature metric of the battery pack and generate a temperature datum based on the at least a temperature metric; a controller communicatively connected to the sensor, the controller configured to: receive the temperature datum from the sensor; and re-route the electric aircraft based on the temperature datum.
1. A system for in-flight re-routing of an electric aircraft, comprising:
a battery pack configured to provide electrical power to the electric aircraft;
a sensor configured to generate a temperature datum according to a temperature of the battery pack; and
a controller communicatively connected to the sensor, the controller configured to:
receive the temperature datum from the sensor; and
re-route the electric aircraft, while the electric aircraft is in-flight, based on the temperature datum.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to:
recommend a plurality of landing sites as a function of the temperature datum; and
receive a user input, wherein the user input contains a selection of a landing site of the plurality of landing sites.
3. The system of claim 2 , wherein re-routing the electric aircraft comprises re-routing the electric aircraft to the landing site of the selection.
4. The system of claim 2 , wherein recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of the temperature datum comprises recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of a distance between each landing site of the plurality of landing sites and a current aircraft position.
5. The system of claim 2 , wherein recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of the temperature datum comprises recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of a type of landing site.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to
issue a warning as a function of a comparison between the temperature datum and a threshold temperature.
7. The system of claim 6 , wherein issuing the warning as a function of the comparison between the temperature datum and the first threshold temperature comprises issuing a visual warning as based at least in part on the comparison between the temperature datum and the threshold temperature using a display.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein re-routing the electric aircraft comprises updating a flight plan of the electric aircraft.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein re-routing the electric aircraft comprises updating a flight plan of the electric aircraft as a function of a user input.
10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to receive a user input from an input control, wherein the input control is:
communicatively connected to the controller; and
located remote to the electric aircraft.
11. A method for implementing a system for in-flight re-routing of an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
receiving, at a controller from a sensor installed in the electric aircraft, a temperature datum generated according to a temperature of a battery pack; and
re-routing, by the controller and while the electric aircraft is in-flight, the electric aircraft based on the temperature datum.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
recommending, by the controller, a plurality of landing sites as a function of the temperature datum; and
receiving, by the controller, a user input, wherein the user input contains a selection of a landing site of the plurality of landing sites.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein re-routing the electric aircraft comprises re-routing the electric aircraft to the landing site of the selection.
14. The method of claim 12 , wherein recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of the temperature datum comprises recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of a distance between each landing site of the plurality of landing sites and a current aircraft position.
15. The method of claim 12 , wherein recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of the temperature datum comprises recommending the plurality of landing sites as a function of a type of landing site.
16. The method of claim 11 , further comprising
issuing, by the controller, a warning as a function of a comparison between the temperature datum and a threshold temperature.
17. The method of claim 16 , wherein issuing the warning as a function of the comparison between the temperature datum and the first threshold temperature comprises issuing a visual warning based at least in part on the comparison between the temperature datum and the threshold temperature using a display.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein re-routing the electric aircraft comprises updating a flight plan of the electric aircraft.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein re-routing the electric aircraft comprises updating a flight plan of the electric aircraft as a function of a user input.
20. The method of claim 11 , further comprising receiving, by the controller, a user input from an input control, wherein the input control is:
communicatively connected to the controller; and
located remote to the electric aircraft.
