    摘要: The present invention is a system and methods for preconditioning a power source of an electric aircraft. The system may include a sensor attached to a power source of an electric aircraft, where the sensor is configured to detect a condition datum of an operating component of the power source, and a flight controller communicatively connected to the sensor, the flight controller configured to determine if there is a divergent element of an operating state of the power source and, if so, initiate a power source modification to correct the divergent element.

    摘要: The disclosed invention describes a method for determining a current state of a gas cell in an airship, particularly the lift. A computing device receives depth measurements of the interior of the gas cell using a lidar sensor positioned outside the cell and uses these depth measurements to create a mesh, segment a space within the mesh into geometric shapes, calculate the volume of the shapes, and use the calculated volume to estimate the total volume of the space within the mesh, representing the volume of gas within the gas cell. The computing device then uses the estimated volume to calculate the lift of the gas cell and sends the calculated lift to a control module of the airship.
