Abstract

A system for preconditioning a power source of an electric aircraft is presented. The apparatus includes a power source of an electric aircraft, a computing device, and a user device. The computing device is configured to receive a flight plan, determine a predicted power usage model as a function of the flight plan, and initiate a power source modification on the electric aircraft as a function of the predicted power usage model. The user device is configured to display a flight performance infographic as a function of the predicted power usage model.
