US Patent 11649060 Method and system for propulsion in an electric aircraft

A system for stowable propulsion in an electric aircraft that includes at least a propulsor mounted on at least a structural feature that includes at least a rotor and at least a motor mechanically coupled to the at least a rotor, where the motor is configured to cause the rotor to rotate as a function of an activation datum, at least a sensor communicatively coupled to the at least a propulsor configured to detect a position datum as a function of the configuration, generate a clearance datum as a function of the position datum, transmit the clearance datum to a flight controller, and a flight controller communicatively coupled to the at least a propulsor and the at least a sensor configured to receive the clearance datum from the at least a sensor and generate the activation datum as a function of the clearance datum.
