摘要： Aspects relate to an electric aircraft having a two-motor propulsion system and methods for use. An exemplary electric aircraft includes a flight component attached to the electric aircraft, where the flight component is configured to generate thrust, a first electric motor and a second electric motor, where each of the first electric motor and the second electric motor are mechanically connected to the flight component and configured to provide motive power to the flight component, and the second electric motor is able to provide motive power to the flight component if the first electric motor is inoperative.

摘要： A system for pilot-controlled position guidance configured for use in a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, the system including a VTOL aircraft. The system including a graphical user interface (GUI) coupled to the VTOL aircraft, where the GUI is configured to receive an objective from a user as a function of the user's interaction with the GUI, transmit the objective to a controller, receive a control input from the controller, and display the control input to the user. The system also including a controller where the controller is configured to receive the objective for the GUI, calculate a control input as a function of the objective, and transmit the control input to the GUI.
