Abstract
Technologies and techniques for operating a flying object, such as a battery-operated flying object that includes at least one battery system and at least one electric drive unit. During an emergency, a first power limit of the battery system can be increased to a second power limit of the battery system such that a safe emergency landing of the flying object is possible.
Claims20
A method for operating a battery-operated flying object comprising at least one battery system and at least one electric drive unit, comprising:
- determining a first power limit for the battery system;
- recording current state data of the drive unit;
- assigning configured target state data to the recorded current state data;
- determining that the current state data does not meet the configured target data by one or more predetermined limit values;
- and
- automatically increasing the first power limit to a second power limit responsive to the determination that the current state data does not meet the configured target state data by the one or more predetermined limit values.
3 more elements
A flying object, comprising
- at least one battery system;
- at least one drive unit;
- and
- at least one control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to
- determine a first power limit for the at least one battery system;
- record current state data of the at least one drive unit;
- assign configured target state data to the recorded current state data;
- and
- determine that the current state data does not meet the configured target data by one or more limit values;
- and
- automatically increase the first power limit to a second power limit responsive to the determination that the current state data does not meet the configured target state data by the one or more configured limit values.
8 more elements
A flying object, comprising
- at least one battery system;
- at least one drive unit;
- and
- at least one control unit, wherein the control unit is configured to
- determine a first power limit for the at least one battery system;
- record current state data of the at least one drive unit;
- assign configured target state data to the recorded current state data;
- and
- determine that the current state data does not meet the target data by one or more configured limit values, wherein the one or more limit values comprises a first limit value and a second limit value, and wherein the first limit value indicates a potential malfunction, and the second limit value indicates as emergency malfunction;
- and
- automatically increase the first power limit to a second power limit responsive to the determination that the current state data does not meet the configured target state data by the one or more predetermined limit values.
