Abstract
A system and method for management of propulsors for an electric aircraft, where the electric aircraft is configured to transition between a hover state and a fixed-wing flight state. The electric aircraft may include at least one set of a plurality of propulsors coupled to the electric aircraft. A flight controller may be coupled to the electric aircraft and configured to detect a state transition of the electric aircraft from the hover state to the fixed-wing flight state and send a parking command to the at least one set of a plurality of propulsors.
