     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     At a high level, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to an electric aircraft. In an embodiment, the current disclosure is directed at electric aircraft is comprised of a plurality of flight components and a flight controller. A plurality of flight components is comprised of a plurality of control surfaces, a plurality of lift propulsors, at least a thrust propulsor, and a plurality of electric motors configured to power the plurality of propulsors.

Aspects of the present disclosure can also be used to describe the body of the electric aircraft. Exemplary embodiments illustrating aspects of the present disclosure are described below in the context of several specific examples. 
     In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. It will be apparent, however, that the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. As used herein, the word “exemplary” or “illustrative” means “serving as an example, instance, or illustration.” Any implementation described herein as “exemplary” or “illustrative” is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other implementations. All of the implementations described below are exemplary implementations provided to enable persons skilled in the art to make or use the embodiments of the disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure, which is defined by the claims. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any expressed or implied theory presented in the preceding technical field, background, brief summary or the following detailed description. It is also to be understood that the specific devices and processes illustrated in the attached drawings, and described in the following specification, are simply embodiments of the inventive concepts defined in the appended claims. Hence, specific dimensions and other physical characteristics relating to the embodiments disclosed herein are not to be considered as limiting, unless the claims expressly state otherwise. 
     Referring now to the drawings,  FIG.  1    illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft  100 . As used in this disclosure a “fuselage” is the main body of an aircraft, or in other words, the entirety of the aircraft except for the cockpit, nose, wings, empennage, nacelles, any and all control surfaces, and generally contains an aircraft&#39;s payload. Fuselage  104  may comprise structural elements that physically support the shape and structure of an aircraft. Structural elements may take a plurality of forms, alone or in combination with other types. Structural elements may vary depending on the construction type of aircraft and specifically, the fuselage. Fuselage  104  may comprise a truss structure. A truss structure may be used with a lightweight aircraft and may include welded aluminum tube trusses. A truss, as used herein, is an assembly of beams that create a rigid structure, often in combinations of triangles to create three-dimensional shapes. A truss structure may alternatively comprise titanium construction in place of aluminum tubes, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, structural elements may comprise aluminum tubes and/or titanium beams. In an embodiment, and without limitation, structural elements may include an aircraft skin. Aircraft skin may be layered over the body shape constructed by trusses. Aircraft skin may comprise a plurality of materials such as aluminum, fiberglass, and/or carbon fiber, the latter of which will be addressed in greater detail later in this paper. 
     In embodiments, and with continued reference to  FIG.  1   , aircraft fuselage  104  may include and/or be constructed using geodesic construction. Geodesic structural elements may include stringers wound about formers (which may be alternatively called station frames) in opposing spiral directions. A “stringer,” as used in this disclosure, is a general structural element that may include a long, thin, and rigid strip of metal or wood that is mechanically coupled to and spans a distance from, station frame to station frame to create an internal skeleton on which to mechanically couple aircraft skin. A former (or station frame) may include a rigid structural element that is disposed along a length of an interior of aircraft fuselage  104  orthogonal to a longitudinal (nose to tail) axis of the aircraft and may form a general shape of fuselage  104 . A former may include differing cross-sectional shapes at differing locations along fuselage  104 , as the former is the structural element that informs the overall shape of a fuselage  104  curvature. In embodiments, aircraft skin may be anchored to formers and strings such that the outer mold line of a volume encapsulated by formers and stringers includes the same shape as aircraft  100  when installed. In other words, former(s) may form a fuselage&#39;s ribs, and the stringers may form the interstitials between such ribs. The spiral orientation of stringers about formers may provide uniform robustness at any point on an aircraft fuselage such that if a portion sustains damage, another portion may remain largely unaffected. Aircraft skin may be attached to underlying stringers and formers and may interact with a fluid, such as air, to generate lift and perform maneuvers. 
     In an embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  1   , fuselage  104  may include and/or be constructed using monocoque construction. Monocoque construction may include a primary structure that forms a shell (or skin in an aircraft&#39;s case) and supports physical loads. Monocoque fuselages are fuselages in which the aircraft skin or shell is also the primary structure. In monocoque construction aircraft skin would support tensile and compressive loads within itself and true monocoque aircraft can be further characterized by the absence of internal structural elements. Aircraft skin in this construction method is rigid and can sustain its shape with no structural assistance form underlying skeleton-like elements. Monocoque fuselage may include aircraft skin made from plywood layered in varying grain directions, epoxy-impregnated fiberglass, carbon fiber, or any combination thereof. 
     According to embodiments, and further referring to  FIG.  1   , fuselage  104  may include a semi-monocoque construction. Semi-monocoque construction, as used herein, is a partial monocoque construction, wherein a monocoque construction is describe above detail. In semi-monocoque construction, aircraft fuselage  104  may derive some structural support from stressed aircraft skin and some structural support from underlying frame structure made of structural elements. Formers or station frames can be seen running transverse to the long axis of fuselage  104  with circular cutouts which are generally used in real-world manufacturing for weight savings and for the routing of electrical harnesses and other modern on-board systems. In a semi-monocoque construction, stringers are thin, long strips of material that run parallel to fuselage&#39;s long axis. Stringers may be mechanically coupled to formers permanently, such as with rivets. Aircraft skin may be mechanically coupled to stringers and formers permanently, such as by rivets as well. A person of ordinary skill in the art will appreciate, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, that there are numerous methods for mechanical fastening of components like screws, nails, dowels, pins, anchors, adhesives like glue or epoxy, or bolts and nuts, to name a few. A subset of fuselage under the umbrella of semi-monocoque construction includes unibody vehicles. Unibody, which is short for “unitized body” or alternatively “unitary construction,” vehicles are characterized by a construction in which the body, floor plan, and chassis form a single structure. In the aircraft world, unibody may be characterized by internal structural elements like formers and stringers being constructed in one piece, integral to the aircraft skin as well as any floor construction like a deck. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , stringers, and formers, which may account for the bulk of an aircraft structure excluding monocoque construction, may be arranged in a plurality of orientations depending on aircraft operation and materials. Stringers may be arranged to carry axial (tensile or compressive), shear, bending or torsion forces throughout their overall structure. Due to their coupling to aircraft skin, aerodynamic forces exerted on aircraft skin will be transferred to stringers. A location of said stringers greatly informs the type of forces and loads applied to each and every stringer, all of which may be handled by material selection, cross-sectional area, and mechanical coupling methods of each member. A similar assessment may be made for formers. In general, formers may be significantly larger in cross-sectional area and thickness, depending on location, than stringers. Both stringers and formers may include aluminum, aluminum alloys, graphite epoxy composite, steel alloys, titanium, or an undisclosed material alone or in combination. 
     In an embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  1   , stressed skin, when used in semi-monocoque construction is the concept where the skin of an aircraft bears partial, yet significant, load in an overall structural hierarchy. In other words, an internal structure, whether it be a frame of welded tubes, formers and stringers, or some combination, may not be sufficiently strong enough by design to bear all loads. The concept of stressed skin may be applied in monocoque and semi-monocoque construction methods of fuselage  104 . Monocoque includes only structural skin, and in that sense, aircraft skin undergoes stress by applied aerodynamic fluids imparted by the fluid. Stress as used in continuum mechanics may be described in pound-force per square inch (lbf/in2) or Pascals (Pa). In semi-monocoque construction stressed skin may bear part of aerodynamic loads and additionally may impart force on an underlying structure of stringers and formers. 
     In an embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  1   , a fixed wing may be mechanically attached to fuselage  104 . Fixed wings may be structures which include airfoils configured to create a pressure differential resulting in lift. Fixed wings may generally dispose on the left and right sides of the aircraft symmetrically, at a point between nose and empennage. Fixed wings may comprise a plurality of geometries in planform view, swept swing, tapered, variable wing, triangular, oblong, elliptical, square, among others. A wing&#39;s cross section may geometry comprises an airfoil. An “airfoil” as used in this disclosure is a shape specifically designed such that a fluid flowing above and below it exert differing levels of pressure against the top and bottom surface. In embodiments, the bottom surface of an aircraft can be configured to generate a greater pressure than does the top, resulting in lift. In an embodiment, and without limitation, wing may include a leading edge. As used in this disclosure a “leading edge” is a foremost edge of an airfoil that first intersects with the external medium. For example, and without limitation, leading edge may include one or more edges that may comprise one or more characteristics such as sweep, radius and/or stagnation point, droop, thermal effects, and the like thereof. In an embodiment, and without limitation, wing may include a trailing edge. As used in this disclosure a “trailing edge” is a rear edge of an airfoil. In an embodiment, and without limitation, trailing edge may include an edge capable of controlling the direction of the departing medium from the wing, such that a controlling force is exerted on the aircraft. Boom  108  may comprise differing and/or similar cross-sectional geometries over its cord length or the length from wing tip to where wing meets the aircraft&#39;s body. One or more wings may be symmetrical about the aircraft&#39;s longitudinal plane, which comprises the longitudinal or roll axis reaching down the center of the aircraft through the nose and empennage, and the plane&#39;s yaw axis. 
     In an embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  1   , a fixed wing may include a plurality of control surfaces  112 . As used in the current disclosure, “control surfaces” are aerodynamic devices attached to various points on an aircraft that allow a pilot to adjust and control the aircraft&#39;s flight attitude. Control surfaces  112  may be configured to be commanded by a pilot or pilots to change a wing&#39;s geometry and therefore its interaction with a fluid medium, like air. In embodiments, control surfaces  112  on a fixed-wing aircraft are attached to the airframe on hinges or tracks so they may move and thus deflect the air stream passing over them. This redirection of the air stream generates an unbalanced force to rotate the plane about the associated axis. There are three primary types of control surfaces  112  an aileron, elevator/stabilator, and a rudder. Control surfaces  112  may comprise flaps, ailerons, tabs, spoilers, and slats, among others. The control surfaces  112  may dispose on the wings and tail in a plurality of locations and arrangements and in embodiments may be disposed at the leading and trailing edges of the wings, and may be configured to deflect up, down, forward, aft, or a combination thereof. In other embodiments, control surfaces  112  may be located on the tail of the aircraft primarily on the trailing edge. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , control surfaces may include an Aileron. As used in the current disclosure, an “Aileron” is a hinged flight control surface usually forming part of the trailing edge of each wing of aircraft. Ailerons are used in pairs (one on each wing) to control the aircraft in roll (or movement around the aircraft&#39;s longitudinal axis), which normally results in a change in flight path due to the tilting of the lift vector. Whenever lift is increased, induced drag is also increased. An aileron may include any control surface mentioned in the current disclosure. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , control surfaces may include an elevator. As used in the current disclosure, an “elevator” is a moveable part of the horizontal stabilizer, usually hinged to the back of the fixed part of the horizontal tail. Use of elevators control the plain around the pitch axis. The elevators move up and down together. In a non-limiting example, raised elevators push down on the tail and cause the nose to pitch up. This makes the wings fly at a higher angle of attack, which generates more lift and more drag. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , control surfaces may include a rudder. As used in the current disclosure, a “rudder” is typically mounted on the trailing edge of the vertical stabilizer, part of the empennage. In a nonlimiting example, deflecting the rudder right pushes the tail left and causes the nose to yaw to the right. The reciprocal of the above mentioned example is also true. Centering the rudder pedals returns the rudder to neutral and stops the yaw. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , as used in the current disclosure. a “propulsor” is a component and/or device used to propel a craft by exerting force on a fluid medium, which may include a gaseous medium such as air or a liquid medium such as water. In an embodiment, when a propulsor twists and pulls air behind it, it may, at the same time, push an aircraft forward with an amount of force and/or thrust. More air pulled behind an aircraft results in greater thrust with which the aircraft is pushed forward. Propulsor component may include any device or component that consumes electrical power on demand to propel an electric aircraft in a direction or other vehicle while on ground or in-flight. In an embodiment, propulsor component may include a puller component. As used in this disclosure a “puller component” is a component that pulls and/or tows an aircraft through a medium. As a non-limiting example, puller component may include a flight component such as a puller propeller, a puller motor, a puller propulsor, and the like. Additionally, or alternatively, puller component may include a plurality of puller flight components. In another embodiment, propulsor component may include a pusher component. As used in this disclosure a “pusher component” is a component that pushes and/or thrusts an aircraft through a medium. As a non-limiting example, pusher component may include a pusher component such as a pusher propeller, a pusher motor, a pusher propulsor, and the like. Additionally, or alternatively, pusher flight component may include a plurality of pusher flight components. 
     In another embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  1   , propulsor may include a propeller, a blade, or any combination of the two. A propeller may function to convert rotary motion from an engine or other power source into a swirling slipstream which may push the propeller forwards or backwards. Propulsor may include a rotating power-driven hub, to which several radial airfoil-section blades may be attached, such that an entire whole assembly rotates about a longitudinal axis. As a non-limiting example, blade pitch of propellers may be fixed at a fixed angle, manually variable to a few set positions, automatically variable (e.g. a “constant-speed” type), and/or any combination thereof as described further in this disclosure. As used in this disclosure a “fixed angle” is an angle that is secured and/or substantially unmovable from an attachment point. For example, and without limitation, a fixed angle may be an angle of 2.2° inward and/or 1.7° forward. As a further non-limiting example, a fixed angle may be an angle of 3.6° outward and/or 2.7° backward. In an embodiment, propellers for an aircraft may be designed to be fixed to their hub at an angle similar to the thread on a screw makes an angle to the shaft; this angle may be referred to as a pitch or pitch angle which may determine a speed of forward movement as the blade rotates. Additionally or alternatively, propulsor component may be configured having a variable pitch angle. As used in this disclosure a “variable pitch angle” is an angle that may be moved and/or rotated. For example, and without limitation, propulsor component may be angled at a first angle of 3.3° inward, wherein propulsor component may be rotated and/or shifted to a second angle of 1.7° outward. 
     In an embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  1   , lift propulsor  116  may be configured to produce a lift. As used in this disclosure a “lift” is a perpendicular force to the oncoming flow direction of fluid surrounding the surface. For example, and without limitation relative air speed may be horizontal to the aircraft, wherein lift force may be a force exerted in a vertical direction, directing the aircraft upwards. As used in this disclosure a “lift propulsor” is a component that lifts an aircraft through a medium. In an embodiment, and without limitation, lift propulsor  116  may produce lift as a function of applying a torque to lift propulsor  116 . As used in this disclosure a “torque” is a measure of force that causes an object to rotate about an axis in a direction. For example, and without limitation, torque may rotate an aileron and/or rudder to generate a force that may adjust and/or affect altitude, airspeed velocity, groundspeed velocity, direction during flight, and/or thrust. In some embodiments, lift propulsor  116  may be considered a puller component. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , as used in this disclosure a “Thrust propulsor” is a component that pushes and/or thrusts an aircraft through a medium. As a non-limiting example, thrust propulsor  120  may include a pusher propeller, a paddle wheel, a pusher motor, a pusher propulsor, and the like. Thrust propulsor  120  may be primarily used in fixed wing based flight. Thrust propulsor  120  may be located at the rear end of fuselage  104 . Additionally, or alternatively, thrust propulsor  120  may include a plurality of pusher flight components. Thrust propulsor  120  is configured to produce a forward thrust. As a non-limiting example, forward thrust may include a force to force aircraft to in a horizontal direction along the longitudinal axis. As a further non-limiting example, thrust propulsor  120  may twist and/or rotate to pull air behind it and, at the same time, push aircraft  100  forward with an equal amount of force. In an embodiment, and without limitation, the more air forced behind aircraft, the greater the thrust force with which the aircraft is pushed horizontally will be. In another embodiment, and without limitation, forward thrust may force aircraft  100  through the medium of relative air. Additionally or alternatively, plurality of flight components may include one or more puller components. As used in this disclosure a “puller component” is a component that pulls and/or tows an aircraft through a medium. As a non-limiting example, puller component may include a flight component such as a puller propeller, a puller motor, a tractor propeller, a puller propulsor, and the like. Additionally, or alternatively, puller component may include a plurality of puller flight components. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , Thrust propulsor  120  may include a thrust element which may be integrated into the propulsor. Thrust propulsor  120  may include, without limitation, a device using moving or rotating foils, such as one or more rotors, an airscrew or propeller, a set of airscrews or propellers such as contra-rotating propellers, a moving or flapping wing, or the like. Further, a Thrust propulsor  120 , for example, can include without limitation a marine propeller or screw, an impeller, a turbine, a pump-jet, a paddle or paddle-based device, or the like. 
     In an embodiment and still referring to  FIG.  1   , a plurality of lift propulsor  116  of plurality of flight components may be arranged in a quad copter orientation. As used in this disclosure a “quad copter orientation” is at least a lift component oriented in a geometric shape and/or pattern, wherein each of the lift components is located along a vertex of the geometric shape. For example, and without limitation, a square quad copter orientation may have four lift propulsor components oriented in the geometric shape of a square, wherein each of the four lift propulsor components are located along the four vertices of the square shape. As a further non-limiting example, a hexagonal quad copter orientation may have six lift components oriented in the geometric shape of a hexagon, wherein each of the six lift components are located along the six vertices of the hexagon shape. In an embodiment, and without limitation, quad copter orientation may include a first set of lift components and a second set of lift components, wherein the first set of lift components and the second set of lift components may include two lift components each, wherein the first set of lift components and a second set of lift components are distinct from one another. For example, and without limitation, the first set of lift components may include two lift components that rotate in a clockwise direction, wherein the second set of lift propulsor components may include two lift components that rotate in a counterclockwise direction. In an embodiment, and without limitation, the first set of lift components may be oriented along a line oriented 45° from the longitudinal axis of aircraft  100 . In another embodiment, and without limitation, the second set of lift components may be oriented along a line oriented 135° from the longitudinal axis, wherein the first set of lift components line and the second set of lift components are perpendicular to each other. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , aircraft  100  comprises an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. As used herein, a vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft is one that can hover, take off, and land vertically. An eVTOL, as used herein, is an electrically powered aircraft typically using an energy source, of a plurality of energy sources to power the aircraft. In order to optimize the power and energy necessary to propel the aircraft. eVTOL may be capable of rotor-based cruising flight, rotor-based takeoff, rotor-based landing, fixed-wing cruising flight, airplane-style takeoff, airplane-style landing, and/or any combination thereof. Rotor-based flight, as described herein, is where the aircraft generated lift and propulsion by way of one or more powered rotors coupled with an engine, such as a “quad copter,” multi-rotor helicopter, or other vehicle that maintains its lift primarily using downward thrusting propulsors. Fixed-wing flight, as described herein, is where the aircraft is capable of flight using wings and/or foils that generate lift caused by the aircraft&#39;s forward airspeed and the shape of the wings and/or foils, such as airplane-style flight. Boom  108  is located on aircraft  100 , attached and adjacent to the fuselage  104 . As used in this disclosure, a “boom” is an element that projects essentially horizontally from fuselage, including a laterally extending element, an outrigger, a spar, a lifting body, and/or a fixed wing that extends from fuselage  104 . For the purposes of this disclosure, a “lifting body” is a structure that creates lift using aerodynamics. Boom  108  may extend perpendicularly to the fuselage  104 . 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , the propellors of the lift propulsors  116  may be configured to be parked in an aerodynamically efficient manner during fixed wing flight. As used in the current disclosure, the term “parked” refers to the propulsors being placed locked in a position parallel to boom  108  as shown in  FIG.  1   . Lift propulsors  116  may be used during flight modes that include hovering, vertical take-off and landing, and all rotor based flight. Lift propulsors  116  will be parked during all fixed wing based flight modes. In embodiments, a flight controller may signal to lift propulsors  116  that aircraft  100  is in engaged in fixed wing flight. Once this signal is received by lift propulsors  116  the propulsors will be locked into the parked position. In other embodiments, lift propulsors  116  may be parked in any position that is aerodynamically efficient. As used in the current disclosure, “aerodynamically efficient” is a measure of a designs to propensity to generate aerodynamic forces for efficient flight parameters. The most relevant consideration of aerodynamically efficiency is the lift/drag ratio.

No. 17/732,774, (Attorney Docket No. 1024-413USU1) filed on Apr. 29, 2022, and titled “SYSTEM FOR PROPELLER PARKING CONTROL FOR AN ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT AND A METHOD FOR ITS USE,” the entirety of which is hereby incorporated by reference. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , lift propulsors  116  and thrust propulsors  120  may be separate flight components. In embodiments, lift propulsors  116  and thrust propulsors  120  are two separate entities that separately perform the functions of lifting and thrusting aircraft  100  respectively. Separating these functions allows aircraft  100  to operate in a more efficient manner. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  1   , aircraft  100  comprises a plurality of motor assembly and at least one boom to house said motor assembly. Motor  124  assembly may be comprised of an electric, gas, etc. motor. Motor  124  is driven by electric power wherein power have varying or reversing voltage levels.

At least a supervised machine-learning process  428 , as defined herein, include algorithms that receive a training set relating a number of inputs to a number of outputs, and seek to find one or more mathematical relations relating inputs to outputs, where each of the one or more mathematical relations is optimal according to some criterion specified to the algorithm using some scoring function. For instance, a supervised learning algorithm may include flight elements and/or pilot signals as described above as inputs, autonomous functions as outputs, and a scoring function representing a desired form of relationship to be detected between inputs and outputs; scoring function may, for instance, seek to maximize the probability that a given input and/or combination of elements inputs is associated with a given output to minimize the probability that a given input is not associated with a given output. Scoring function may be expressed as a risk function representing an “expected loss” of an algorithm relating inputs to outputs, where loss is computed as an error function representing a degree to which a prediction generated by the relation is incorrect when compared to a given input-output pair provided in training data  404 . Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various possible variations of at least a supervised machine-learning process  428  that may be used to determine relation between inputs and outputs. Supervised machine-learning processes may include classification algorithms as defined above. 
     Further referring to  FIG.  4   , machine learning processes may include at least an unsupervised machine-learning processes  432 . An unsupervised machine-learning process, as used herein, is a process that derives inferences in datasets without regard to labels; as a result, an unsupervised machine-learning process may be free to discover any structure, relationship, and/or correlation provided in the data. Unsupervised processes may not require a response variable; unsupervised processes may be used to find interesting patterns and/or inferences between variables, to determine a degree of correlation between two or more variables, or the like. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  4   , machine-learning module  400  may be designed and configured to create a machine-learning model  424  using techniques for development of linear regression models. Linear regression models may include ordinary least squares regression, which aims to minimize the square of the difference between predicted outcomes and actual outcomes according to an appropriate norm for measuring such a difference (e.g. a vector-space distance norm); coefficients of the resulting linear equation may be modified to improve minimization. Linear regression models may include ridge regression methods, where the function to be minimized includes the least-squares function plus term multiplying the square of each coefficient by a scalar amount to penalize large coefficients. Linear regression models may include least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) models, in which ridge regression is combined with multiplying the least-squares term by a factor of 1 divided by double the number of samples. Linear regression models may include a multi-task lasso model wherein the norm applied in the least-squares term of the lasso model is the Frobenius norm amounting to the square root of the sum of squares of all terms. Linear regression models may include the elastic net model, a multi-task elastic net model, a least angle regression model, a LARS lasso model, an orthogonal matching pursuit model, a Bayesian regression model, a logistic regression model, a stochastic gradient descent model, a perceptron model, a passive aggressive algorithm, a robustness regression model, a Huber regression model, or any other suitable model that may occur to persons skilled in the art upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure. Linear regression models may be generalized in an embodiment to polynomial regression models, whereby a polynomial equation (e.g. a quadratic, cubic or higher-order equation) providing a best predicted output/actual output fit is sought; similar methods to those described above may be applied to minimize error functions, as will be apparent to persons skilled in the art upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure.
