Abstract
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.

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 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, during a flight maneuver, based on the temperature datum.
A method for implementing a system for in-flight re-routing of an electric aircraft, comprising:
- receiving, at a controller from a sensor installed in the electric aircraft, a temperature datum based on at least a temperature metric of a battery pack;
- and
- re-routing the electric aircraft, during a flight maneuver, based on the temperature datum.
