An electrical system for an aircraft, comprising at least one processor configured to: receive aircraft movement information, detect that the movement information indicates a potential crash, detect a loss of continuity in at least one low voltage wire, and blow a battery pack fuse to disconnect supply of the high voltage power to the aircraft.

High voltage battery architecture

The present disclosure relates generally to controlling an aircraft to avoid overheating components. In one embodiment, a method is disclosed, comprising: receiving first sensor data indicating at least one attribute of high voltage wiring of the aircraft; receiving a state of operation of the aircraft; determining a proximity of a temperature of the high voltage wiring to a temperature limit based on the first sensor data and the state of operation of the aircraft; and controlling at least one electric propulsion unit of the aircraft to avoid exceeding the temperature limit based on the determined proximity.
