SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR BATTERY MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL OF AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE

This disclosure relates to flight control of electric aircraft and other vehicles. A computer-implemented method for estimating available range of an aircraft in flight is disclosed, comprising: receiving electrical information of one or more batteries measured using a first sensor; estimating aircraft-level energy based on electrical information of the one or more batteries; receiving one or more of an altitude of the aircraft or a current airspeed of the aircraft measured using a second sensor; estimating a steady-state force based on the one or more of the altitude of the aircraft or the current airspeed of the aircraft; estimating one or more of a vertical landing range or a horizontal landing range based on the one or more of the estimated aircraft-level energy or the estimated steady-state force; and displaying the one or more of the estimated vertical landing range or the estimated horizontal landing range on a display.
