摘要: The present invention is systems and methods for preflight temperature management of an energy source of an electric aircraft. The system may include a sensor attached to an energy source of an electric aircraft, where the sensor is configured to detect a temperature of the energy source and generate a corresponding temperature datum. A computing device communicatively connected to the sensor may receive the temperature datum and determine the readiness of the electric aircraft for flight based on the temperature of the energy source. If the electric aircraft is not considered ready by the computing device, then an energy source modification may be initiated that changes the temperature of the energy source.
