Abstract
A system for determining remaining useful energy in an electric aircraft, the system including a computing device where the computing device is configured to measure a internal state datum of a battery as a function of at least a sensor, receive the internal state datum from the at least a sensor, generate a useful energy remaining datum as a function of the internal state datum and a battery model, and display the useful energy remaining datum to a user.

A system for determining remaining useful energy in an electric aircraft, the system comprising a computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- measure an internal state datum of a battery on an electric aircraft as a function of at least a sensor, wherein the at least a sensor comprises at least a gas sensor;
- receive the internal state datum from the at least a sensor;
- train a battery model using training data, wherein the training data includes battery internal state datum correlated to battery remaining useful energy data;
- generate a useful energy remaining datum as a function of the internal state datum and the battery model;
- calculate a remaining flight range based on a flight plan and the useful energy remaining datum;
- display a hologram of a depth of discharge of the battery based on the useful energy remaining datum;
- and
- display, a calculated thermal runaway prediction of the electric aircraft.
