Abstract
A system for automated air traffic control is provided. The system generally includes a remote computing device which is spaced from an aircraft. The remote computing device is configured to receive, from at least a sensor onboard the aircraft or external to it, a weather datum, receive, from a flight controller onboard or coupled to the aircraft, an aircraft flight plan, generate a flight progress strip as a function of the weather datum and the aircraft flight plan, and transmit a clearance datum to the aircraft. A method for automated air traffic control is also provided.
Claims18
A system for automated air traffic control, the system comprising:
- an electric aircraft, wherein the electric aircraft comprises:
- a sensor onboard the electric aircraft, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a weather datum;
- and
- a battery management system onboard the electric aircraft, wherein the battery management system is configured to determine a state of charge datum of the electric aircraft;
- and
- a computing device spaced from the electric aircraft, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- receive, from the sensor, the weather datum;
- receive, from a flight controller coupled to the electric aircraft, an aircraft flight plan;
- generate a flight progress strip as a function of the weather datum, the aircraft flight plan, the state of charge datum and a distance to a recharging station;
- generate a clearance datum as a function of the flight progress strip;
- and
- transmit the clearance datum to the electric aircraft.
A method for automated air traffic control, the method comprising:
- detecting, by a sensor onboard an electric aircraft, a weather datum;
- determining, by a battery management system onboard the electric aircraft, a state of charge datum of the electric aircraft;
- receiving, by a computing device spaced from the electric aircraft, the weather datum from the sensor;
- receiving, by the computing device, an aircraft flight plan from a flight controller coupled to the electric aircraft;
- generating, by the computing device, a flight progress strip as a function of the weather datum, the aircraft flight plan, the state of charge datum and a distance to a recharging station;
- generating, by the computing device, a clearance datum as a function of the flight progress strip;
- and
- transmitting, by the computing device, the clearance datum to the electric aircraft.
