SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REGULATING CHARGING OF AN ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT
DRIVE
May 4, 2023
A system for regulating charging of an electric aircraft includes a charging connector and a controller communicatively connected to the charging connector. The charging connector includes a housing, at least a conductor, and at least a control signal conductor. The housing is configured to mate with an electric aircraft port of an electric aircraft. The at least a conductor is configured to conduct a current. The at least a control signal conductor is configured to conduct a control signal. The controller is configured to receive a voltage datum from the electric aircraft, and regulate a charging voltage, as a function of the voltage datum, to the electric aircraft. Regulation of the charging voltage includes charging at least a battery of the electric aircraft in a plurality of phases including a first charging phase at a constant current and a second charging phase at a constant voltage.
