APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR DETERMINING A RESOURCE REMAINING DATUM OF AN ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17889538 titled 'APPARATUS AND A METHOD FOR DETERMINING A RESOURCE REMAINING DATUM OF AN ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT
Simplified Explanation
This patent application describes an apparatus for determining the remaining energy of a battery pack in an electric aircraft.
- The apparatus includes a processor and memory that receive aircraft data from a sensing device.
- The sensing device measures parameters of the battery pack and generates aircraft data based on these measurements.
- The processor uses the aircraft data to determine a reserve energy, which is based on the flight mode of the aircraft.
- The processor then calculates a resource remaining datum, which provides information about the remaining energy in the battery pack.
- The resource remaining datum is important for monitoring and managing the battery usage in the electric aircraft.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for determining a resource remaining datum of an electric aircraft is disclosed. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The memory contains instructions configuring the processor to receive aircraft data from at least a sensing device, wherein the at least a sensing device is configured to measure at least a parameter of a battery pack of the electric aircraft and generate aircraft data as a function of the at least a parameter of the battery pack of the electric aircraft. The memory contains instructions configuring the processor to determine a reserve energy as a function of a flight mode of the electric aircraft and determine a resource remaining datum as a function of the aircraft data and the reserve energy, wherein the resource remaining datum is related to the battery pack of the electric aircraft.
