US 2023/0415915 A1 · TRANSITION GAUGE FOR ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT

Abstract

In an aspect, a propulsor gauge is provide that provides guidance during a transition of a mode of operation of an electric aircraft. Propulsor gauge may include a processor configured to identify a current thrust envelope parameter of one or more propulsors of electric aircraft. Processor may also determine a recommended range as a function of the propulsor parameter, where the recommended range includes a lower threshold and an upper threshold. The recommended range and thrust envelope parameter may then be shown on a display of propulsor gauge, where a measurement of current thrust envelope parameter relative to recommended range may be represented by an indicator.

Dependent claims

A propulsor gauge of an electric aircraft, the gauge comprising:

a processor;
a memory communicatively connected to the processor and configured to contain instructions configuring the processor to:
receive condition data of an electric aircraft, wherein the condition data comprises an angle of attack of an electric aircraft,
identify a thrust envelope parameter of a propulsor of the electric aircraft;
determine a recommended range as a function of the thrust envelope parameter and the condition data, wherein the recommended range comprises a lower threshold and an upper threshold;
and
store the lower threshold and the upper threshold in a lookup table:
an indicator configured to indicate the thrust envelope parameter;
and
a display communicatively connected to the processor and configured to display a visual representation of the recommended range.
