Abstract

The system and method for defining boundaries of a simulation of an electric aircraft is illustrated. The system comprises a sensor, a computing device, and a remote device. The sensor is configured to detect an aircraft location datum, detect a boundary datum associated with a three-dimensional flying space, and transmit the aircraft location datum and boundary datum to a computing device. The computing device is configured to receive the aircraft location datum and boundary datum from the sensor, determine a distance datum between the aircraft location and boundary as a function of the aircraft location datum and boundary datum generate a recommended aircraft adjustment as a function of the distance datum, and transmit the distance datum and recommended aircraft adjustment to a remote device. The remote device is configured to receive the distance datum and recommended aircraft adjustment and display them to a user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system for defining boundaries for an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
 at least a sensor, wherein the at least a sensor is configured to:
 detect an aircraft location datum of an electric aircraft; 
 detect a boundary datum associated with a three-dimensional flying space, the detecting of the boundary datum comprising:
 determining a closest point of a plurality of points on a boundary based on the aircraft location datum; and 
 detecting the boundary datum as a function of the closest point of the boundary; and 
 
 transmit the aircraft location datum and the boundary datum to a computing device; and 
   the computing device communicatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the computing device is configured to:
 receive the aircraft location datum and the boundary datum from the at least a sensor; 
 determine a distance datum between the aircraft location and the boundary datum as a function of the aircraft location datum and the boundary datum, wherein the distance datum comprises at least a replacement point; and 
 transmit the distance datum to a display. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the electric aircraft comprises a manned electric aircraft. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to:
 generate a recommended aircraft adjustment as a function of the distance datum; and   transmit the recommended aircraft adjustment to the display.   
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the computing device is further configured to generate an updated recommended aircraft adjustment as a function of a user interaction. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least a sensor comprises a ranging sensor. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the boundary datum includes:
 a longitude datum; and   a latitude datum.   
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computing device is further configured to transmit an alert to a user if the distance datum is below a distance threshold. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the alert comprises an auditory alert. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein:
 the at least a sensor is further configured to receive a temporal indicator; and   determining the distance datum between the aircraft location and the boundary datum as a function of the aircraft location datum and the boundary datum further comprises determining the distance datum between the aircraft location and the boundary datum as a function of the temporal indicator.   
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the display further presents a permitted direction of flight associated with the three-dimensional flying space. 
     
     
         11 . A method for defining boundaries for an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
 detecting, at an at least a sensor, an aircraft location datum of an electric aircraft;   detecting, at the at least a sensor, a boundary datum associated with a three-dimensional flying space for the aircraft, the detecting of the boundary datum comprising:
 determining a closest point of a plurality of points on a boundary based on the aircraft location datum; and 
 detecting the boundary datum as a function of the closest point of the boundary; 
   transmitting, at the at least a sensor, the aircraft location datum and the boundary datum to a computing device;   receiving, at the computing device, the aircraft location datum and the boundary datum from the at least a sensor;   determining, at the computing device, a distance datum between the aircraft location and the boundary as a function of the aircraft location datum, the temporal indicator, and the boundary datum, wherein the distance datum comprises at least a replacement point; and   transmitting, at the computing device, the distance datum to a display.   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the electric aircraft comprises a manned electric aircraft.
