Abstract:
A system for disconnecting a battery from an electric aircraft upon impact. The system includes an electric aircraft and a battery assembly electrically coupled to the electric aircraft. The battery assembly is configured to include at least a sensor. The at least a sensor is configured to detect impacts to the electric aircraft. The battery assembly is configured to include a connector. The connector attaches the battery assembly to the electric aircraft. The connector includes an electrically actuating disconnection mechanism. The battery assembly is configured to include a control circuit. The control circuit is electrically connected to the electrically actuating disconnection mechanism. The control circuit is configured to detect, using the at least a sensor, an impact to the aircraft. The control sensor disconnects the connector from the electric aircraft using the electrically actuating disconnection mechanism as a function of the detection of impacts to the electric aircraft.
