Abstract
A system and method for pilot assistance in an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The system generally includes a pilot control and a flight controller. The pilot control is attached to the eVTOL aircraft. The pilot control is configured to transmit an input relating to the flight path of the aircraft. The flight controller is communicatively connected to the pilot control. The flight controller is configured to receive the input relating to the flight path, generate an output of a recommended flight maneuver as a function of the input, and display the recommended flight maneuver.
Claims20
A system for pilot assistance in an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
- a pilot control attached to an electric aircraft;
- and
- a flight controller communicatively connected to the pilot control, wherein the flight controller is configured to:
- receive an input from the pilot control;
- generate an output of a recommended maneuver as a function of the input;
- transmit the output of the recommended maneuver to a remote device;
- and
- control an electric propulsor of the electric aircraft as a function of the output of the recommended maneuver, wherein the electric propulsor is configured to propel the electric aircraft.
A method for pilot assist of an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
- receiving, at a flight controller, an input from a pilot control of an electric aircraft that is communicatively connected to the flight controller;
- generating, at the flight controller, an output of a recommended maneuver as a function of the input;
- transmitting, at the flight controller, the output of the recommended maneuver to a remote device;
- and
- controlling, at the flight controller, a propulsor of the electric aircraft as a function of the output of the recommended maneuver.
