METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR OPTIMIZING BATTERY RECHARGE MANAGEMENT FOR USE WITH AN ELECTRIC VERTICAL TAKE-OFF AND LANDING AIRCRAFT
DRIVE
August 17, 2023
Aspects relate to methods and systems for optimizing battery recharge management for use with an electric vertical take-off and landing aircraft. An exemplary system includes an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft comprising at least battery mechanically coupled to the eVTOL aircraft cand configured to power at least an aircraft component of the eVTOL aircraft, wherein the at least a battery comprises a plurality of battery cells, and at least a sensor, configured to measure battery data associated with the at least a battery, and a server remote from the eVTOL and in communication with the at least a sensor, wherein the server is configured to receive the battery data from the at least a sensor, receive mission data associated with a planned flight mission of the eVTOL aircraft, and generate a recharge time as a function of the battery data and the mission data.
