Abstract
A system for a head-up display for an electric aircraft is presented. The system includes an augmented reality device which may be operated by a pilot using a pilot device and a computing device connected to the pilot device, wherein the computing device is configured to receive an aircraft datum and generate a performance assessment model. The performance assessment model includes a plurality of information relevant to the operation of the electric aircraft. The augmented reality device further includes a projection device configured to project the performance assessment model onto an exterior view window and display the performance assessment model as a function of the projection device.
Claims20
An electric aircraft having a head-up display, the electric aircraft comprising:
- at least a propulsor configured to generate thrust using an electric motor;
- at least a battery configured to power the electric motor of the at least a propulsor;
- a pilot device located within a physical cockpit and configured for use by a pilot;
- a computing device comprising at least a microprocessor communicatively connected to the pilot device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- receive an aircraft datum;
- and
- generate a performance assessment model as a function of the aircraft datum, wherein the performance assessment model comprises at least a flight phase model depicting the power consumption of at least a battery for at least a portion of the flight
- an exterior view window configured to allow viewing of the surroundings of the electric aircraft and
- a data display component configured to display the performance assessment model on the exterior view window, wherein the data display comprises a plurality of projection devices arranged in a concave formation.
A method for an electric aircraft having a head-up display, the method comprising:
- generating, using at least a propulsor, thrust using an electric motor;
- powering, using at least a battery, the electric motor of the at least a propulsor;
- receiving, by a computing device comprising at least a microprocessor communicatively connected to a pilot device located within a physical cockpit and configured for use by a pilot, an aircraft datum;
- generating a performance assessment model as a function of the aircraft datum, wherein the performance assessment model comprises at least a flight phase model depicting the power consumption of at least a battery for at least a portion of the flight;
- and
- displaying, by a data display component, the performance assessment model onto an exterior view window configured to allow viewing of the surroundings of the electric aircraft, wherein the data display comprises a plurality of projection devices arranged in a concave formation.
