Abstract

A system for monitoring impact on an electric aircraft is presented. The system includes a sensor communicatively connected to a flight component, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a measured force datum and generate an impact datum as a function of the measured force datum. The system further includes a computing device configured to simulate a landing performance model output as a function of the impact datum, generate a landing performance datum as a function of a comparison between the landing performance model output, determine an alert datum as a function of the landing performance datum, and display the landing performance datum on a user device.
