Abstract
A system for initiating a command of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft includes a flight controller configured to receive a topographical datum, receive a sensor datum from a sensor, identify an air position as a function of the sensor datum and the topographical datum, determine a command, including an actuator command, as a function of the identified air position and the determining of the command includes identifying at least one flight component of the eVTOL aircraft to be adjusted to perform the determined command, and initiate the command to adjust the identified flight component.
Claims20
A system for initiating a command of an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
- a flight controller, wherein the flight controller is configured to:
- identify an air position as a function of a sensor datum and a topographical datum using a similarity function, wherein the air position is denoted by an image vector, wherein the image vector comprises a data structure representing a plurality of categorized distances, and wherein a first categorized distance represents a first height of the electric aircraft above a physical feature and a second categorized distance represents a second height of the physical feature above ground or sea level;
- determine a flight component command as a function of the air position, wherein determining the flight component command comprises identifying a flight component of the electric aircraft to be adjusted to perform the flight component command;
- and
- initiate the flight component command to adjust the flight component.
A method for initiating a command of an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
- identifying, by a flight controller, an air position as a function of a sensor datum and a topographical datum using a similarity function, wherein the air position is denoted by an image vector, wherein the image vector comprises a data structure representing a plurality of categorized distances, and wherein a first categorized distance represents a first height of the electric aircraft above a physical feature and a second categorized distance represents a second height of the physical feature above ground or sea level;
- determining, by the flight controller, a flight component command as a function of the air position, wherein determining the flight component command comprises identifying a flight component of the electric aircraft to be adjusted to perform the flight component command;
- and
- initiating, by the flight controller, the flight component command to adjust the flight component.
