May 4, 2023
A system with a safety feature for charging an electric aircraft. The system includes an electric aircraft port of an electric aircraft, a sensor on the electric aircraft, and a computing device communicatively connected to the electric aircraft port and the sensor. The electric aircraft port is configured to mate with a charging connector. The sensor is configured to detect a sensor datum of the charging connector. The computing device is configured to receive the sensor datum, generate a charging instruction set as a function of the sensor datum, transmit the charging instruction set to the electric aircraft port, and enable charging of the electric aircraft, by the charging connector and through the electric aircraft port, as a function of the charging instruction set. The charging instruction set includes a safety lock instruction. A method with a safety feature for charging an electric aircraft is also provided.
