Abstract
An electric aircraft includes a fuselage, at least one rotor, at least one coupling structure, at least one electric motor, a battery and wirings. The at least one coupling structure couples the at least one rotor to the fuselage. The at least one electric motor is for rotating the at least one rotor. The battery is attached to the fuselage. The battery is for supplying current to the at least one electric motor. The wirings electrically couples the battery to the at least one electric motor. At least a part of the wirings includes rigid conductors. At least a part of the at least one coupling structure includes the rigid conductors. At least a part of a load on the fuselage from the at least one rotor is received with the rigid conductors.
