Abstract
In an aspect of the present disclosure is a system for simulating an electrical vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, including a fuselage comprising one or more pilot inputs, each of the pilot inputs configured to detect pilot datum; a concave screen facing the fuselage; a plurality of projectors directed at the concave screen; a computing device communicatively connected to the plurality of projectors, the computing device configured to: receive the pilot datum detected by the pilot inputs; generate a simulated eVTOL flight maneuver as a function of the pilot datum; and command the plurality of projectors to display one or more images based on the simulated flight maneuver.

A system for simulating an electrical aircraft, comprising:
- a fuselage including one or more pilot inputs, each of the pilot inputs configured to detect pilot data;
- a display screen;
- and
- a computing device communicatively connected to the display screen and the one or more pilot inputs, the computing device configured to:
- generate, using an electrical aircraft model representing the electrical aircraft, a simulated flight maneuver during a failure of a power system configured to power the electrical aircraft;
- command the display screen to display one or more images based on the simulated flight maneuver;
- receive the pilot data detected by the pilot inputs while a pilot engages in the simulated flight maneuver;
- and
- determine, based on the pilot data, a performance of the pilot as a function of an amount of energy consumed by the power system during the simulated flight maneuver.
A method for implementing an aircraft simulation system, comprising:
- generating, using an electrical aircraft model representing an electrical aircraft, a simulated flight maneuver including a transition between a hovering mode of the electrical aircraft and a cruising mode of the electrical aircraft;
- commanding a display screen to display one or more images based on the simulated flight maneuver;
- receiving, from a plurality of pilot inputs installed in a fuselage, pilot data detected by the pilot inputs while a pilot engages in the simulated flight maneuver;
- and
- determining based on the pilot data, a performance of the pilot as a function of an amount of energy consumed by a power system during the transition between the hovering mode of the electrical aircraft and the cruising mode of the electrical aircraft, wherein the power system is configured to power the electrical aircraft.
