Abstract

A system and method for speed control as a function of battery capability in an electric aircraft is illustrated. The system comprises a battery pack coupled to the electric aircraft, a sensor coupled to the battery pack and configured to detect a battery pack output, and a computing device coupled to the sensor. The computing device is configured to receive the battery pack output from the sensor and adjust a maximum speed of the electric aircraft as a function of the battery pack output and a battery pack output threshold.
