Abstract

Electric aircraft charging system including charging cable configured to carry electricity and energy source, wherein the energy source is electrically connected to the charging cable. The system also including a cable reel module, the cable reel module including a reel, wherein the reel is rotatably mounted to the cable reel module, wherein the reel is configured to rotate in a forward direction and a reverse direction, and the charging cable, in a stowed configuration, is wound around the reel. The cable reel module further including a rotation mechanism configured to rotate the reel in reverse, and a cable reel module door having a closed position and an open position, wherein the closed position prevents access to the reel and the open position allows access to the reel. The system additionally including a controller communicatively connected to the rotation mechanism and configured to send a retraction signal to the rotation mechanism.
