     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     At a high level, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to systems and methods for controlling a flight boundary of an aircraft. In an embodiment, a flight controller is used to implement these systems and methods. Aspects of the present disclosure can be used to determine and or generate a flight boundary for a particular aircraft based on considerations unique to that aircraft. Aspects of the present disclosure can also be used to set an aircraft movement limit for aircraft as function of the determined flight boundary. This is so, at least in part, because a particular pilot&#39;s identity, background and/or experience can be used in the setting of aircraft movement limit. Aspects of the present disclosure can generate a control signal based on the set aircraft movement limit and a pilot instruction to make a decision on whether or not to accept pilot instruction. This can be advantageous in maintaining a predetermined flight boundary as well as to provide a safeguard against pilot error and/or inexperience. Aspects of the present disclosure desirably allow for updating flight boundary and/or aircraft movement limit(s) pre-flight and in-flight based on current data and information. Exemplary embodiments illustrating aspects of the present disclosure are described below in the context of several specific examples.

In an embodiment, one or more sensors (or a plurality of sensors) may be communicatively connected to flight controller  124  and provide or transmit plurality of flight data  216  to flight controller  124 . These sensors may include, without limitation, at least a sensor  224  communicatively and/or mechanically connected to at least a flight component  108  of aircraft and configured to detect at least a flight component datum  252  of flight component(s)  108 .

     With continued reference to  FIG.  2 A , and as also discussed further herein including below, in an embodiment, flight boundary  212  may define a three dimensional space for a flight trajectory of the aircraft. In an embodiment, determining flight boundary  212  for aircraft may further include training a machine-learning process with training data correlating aircraft flight data and aircraft flight boundary data, and generating flight boundary  212  for aircraft as a function of the machine-learning process. In an embodiment, plurality of flight data  216  may include a weather datum. In an embodiment, plurality of flight data  216  may include a location datum.

In an embodiment, plurality of flight data  216  may include an aircraft identity datum. In an embodiment, flight data  216  may include information on a pilot&#39;s identity and/or experience. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , in some embodiments, a base station  256  may be communicatively connected to flight controller  124  and may provide or transmit aircraft movement limit  204  to flight controller  124 . Flight controller  124  is configured to set an aircraft movement limit (AML)  204  as a function of flight boundary  212 . In an embodiment, base station  256  may set aircraft movement limit  204 . Base station  256  may be any suitable site, external or remote to aircraft, which is capable of transmitting signals to flight controller  124  and/or aircraft based on information available and/or accessible to it. Base station  256  may include, without limitation, an air traffic control (ATC) facility, an airport, a landing strip, pad or deck, a landing site, a takeoff site, a recharging station, a refueling station, a fleet management facility, a weather station, and the like, among others. Base station may include a computing device such as, and without limitation, a server, a network, a tablet, a mobile device, a graphical user interface (GUI), and the like, among others. Communication between base station  256  and flight controller  124  may be facilitated by, for example and without limitation, wireless means such as a satellite, a mobile network, radio waves, and the like, among others. In some embodiments, flight controller  124  may be at base station  256 . In some embodiments, flight controller  124  and base station  256  may cooperate to determine and/or generate flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit  204 . 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , as used in this disclosure, an “aircraft movement limit” is associated with some limit to the movement of an aircraft (e.g., where a pilot&#39;s instructions will be obeyed only to the degree permitted by the aircraft movement limit or its value, if any). In an embodiment, aircraft movement limit may be associated with without limitation, a manned aircraft. For example, and without limitation, aircraft movement limit may be a position limit associated with the aircraft, including (but not limited to) an attitude limit, an altitude limit, a latitude limit, and a longitude limit. In some cases, position limit may be relative to some boundary (e.g., the aircraft&#39;s position should remain over a body of water or some smaller area within that body of water). In some instances, position limit may be relative to some other aircraft (e.g., two or more aircraft should remain a certain distance apart). In some other cases, aircraft movement limit may a velocity limit. Some examples include, without limitation, a forward velocity limit, a lateral velocity limit, a rotational velocity limit (e.g., about a yaw or vertical axis), a vertical velocity limit, or a limit associated with a desired direction of movement (e.g., indicated by an input device such as a joystick). Other examples of an aircraft movement limit may include, without limitation, a limit to some other rate associated with aircraft, such as an attitude rate limit. In some other cases, an aircraft movement limit may include, without limitation, an acceleration limit. As used in this disclosure, an “aircraft movement limit datum” or a “value” for an aircraft movement limit is a value, datum or information that conveys aircraft movement limit. For example, and without limitation, aircraft movement limit datum may include a value for a threshold, minimum and/or maximum altitude, speed, velocity, acceleration, and the like, among others, for aircraft. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , pilot instruction  208  may be generated by pilot control  120 , or the like, and provided or transmitted to flight controller  124 . Pilot control  120  may be communicatively connected to flight controller  124 . Aircraft may be a manned and/or unmanned aircraft. That is, pilot may be onboard aircraft or at a remote location, for example, and without limitation, a flight simulator, or the like, among others. As used in this disclosure, a “pilot instruction” is any instruction provided by a pilot to control an aircraft. For example, and without limitation, pilot instruction  208  may include instructions from a pilot to set, change and/or maintain an aircraft&#39;s speed, velocity, acceleration, position, altitude, flight path, flight trajectory, flight plan, attitude, pitch, yaw, roll, flight angle, angle of attack, and the like, among others. Pilot instruction  108  may also include, without limitation, a pilot&#39;s instruction to transition between any flight modes such as, and without limitation, hover, forward flight, lift flight, fixed wing flight, takeoff, landing, glide, and the like, among others. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , as used in this disclosure, a “pilot control” is a mechanism or means which allows a pilot to monitor and control operation of aircraft such as its flight components (for example, and without limitation, pusher component, lift component and other components such as propulsion components). For example, and without limitation, pilot control  120  may include a collective, inceptor, foot brake, steering and/or control wheel, joystick, control stick, pedals, throttle levers, and the like. Pilot control  120  may be configured to translate a pilot&#39;s desired torque for each flight component of the plurality of flight components, such as and without limitation, pusher component  116  and lift component  112 . Pilot control  120  may be configured to control, via inputs and/or signals such as from a pilot, the pitch, roll, and yaw of the aircraft. Pilot control may be available onboard aircraft or remotely located from it, as needed or desired. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , as used in this disclosure a “collective control” or “collective” is a mechanical control of an aircraft that allows a pilot to adjust and/or control the pitch angle of plurality of flight components  108 . For example and without limitation, collective control may alter and/or adjust the pitch angle of all of the main rotor blades collectively. For example, and without limitation pilot control  120  may include a yoke control. As used in this disclosure a “yoke control” is a mechanical control of an aircraft to control the pitch and/or roll. For example and without limitation, yoke control may alter and/or adjust the roll angle of aircraft as a function of controlling and/or maneuvering ailerons. In an embodiment, pilot control  120  may include one or more foot-brakes, control sticks, pedals, throttle levels, and the like thereof. In another embodiment, and without limitation, pilot control  120  may be configured to control a principal axis of the aircraft. As used in this disclosure a “principal axis” is an axis in a body representing one three dimensional orientations. For example, and without limitation, principal axis or more yaw, pitch, and/or roll axis. Principal axis may include a yaw axis. As used in this disclosure a “yaw axis” is an axis that is directed towards the bottom of aircraft, perpendicular to the wings. For example, and without limitation, a positive yawing motion may include adjusting and/or shifting nose of aircraft to the right. Principal axis may include a pitch axis. As used in this disclosure a “pitch axis” is an axis that is directed towards the right laterally extending wing of aircraft. For example, and without limitation, a positive pitching motion may include adjusting and/or shifting nose of aircraft upwards. Principal axis may include a roll axis. As used in this disclosure a “roll axis” is an axis that is directed longitudinally towards nose of aircraft, parallel to fuselage. For example, and without limitation, a positive rolling motion may include lifting the left and lowering the right wing concurrently. Pilot control  120  may be configured to modify a variable pitch angle. For example, and without limitation, pilot control  120  may adjust one or more angles of attack of a propulsor or propeller. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , in some embodiments, aircraft movement limit  204  may override pilot instruction  208  as implemented via control signal  220 . In some embodiments, the eventual decision on deciding and implementing flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit  204  typically rests with flight controller  124  through generation of control signal  220 . 
     With continued reference to  FIG.  2 A , in some embodiments, flight boundary  212  for aircraft is determined by flight controller  124  as a function of at least flight data  216  which, in some embodiments, is linked with or associated with aircraft. As used in this disclosure, “flight data” is information on any flight aspect associated with a particular aircraft. This may be used to determine or generate flight boundary  212  with aircraft movement limits unique to a particular aircraft. For example, and without limitation, flight data  216  may include aircraft flight plan, current, projected and/or actual weather, and/or external environment, conditions along one or more possible flight plans which may include projected and actual flight plans, flight trajectory, type of terrain aircraft is over and intends to fly over, local wind conditions along flight plan, local air turbulence and projected and/or turbulence along flight plan, other data relating to conditions external to aircraft such as, without limitation, moving and/or stationary objects or obstacles and information on air traffic, specific aircraft information, and the like among others. Specific aircraft information may include, without limitation, status of various flight components including health and diagnostics thereof, current and/or projected degradation of any flight component, number of energy sources, number and/or type of flight components (e.g., without limitation, lift components, pusher components, battery packs, motors, and the like, among others), number of built-in redundancies, type of aircraft (e.g., without limitation, electric, eVTOL, hybrid-electric, internal combustion), landing gear configuration(s), types of flight mode available to aircraft, and the like, among others. Other examples of flight data may include, without limitation, current and/or projected speed, velocity, acceleration, direction of travel, attitude, pitch, yaw, roll, flight angle, angle of attack, and the like, among others. In an embodiment, flight data may also include pilot identity and/or experience. For example, and without limitation, different flight boundaries  212  and/or aircraft movement limits  204  may be determined, generated and/or set for pilot&#39;s with different flying backgrounds and/or experiences. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , various kinds of flight data  216  may affect the determination of flight boundary  212  which may evolve as a function of time and change to accommodate updated flight data as the flight of aircraft progresses. For example, and without limitation, flight boundary  212  may need adjustment if the precision of navigation of aircraft needs to be taken into consideration based on updated flight data  216 . This may be compensated for by allowing a flight boundary that now accounts for a greater navigational error rate. For example, and without limitation, if it is windy or turbulent, aircraft may be blown off course, buffeted around, etc., which may mean it can&#39;t stay within a tolerance of an intended route which would be possible in calmer weather. Degradation of motors, batteries, sensory equipment, etc. (or weather-introduced imprecision or error rates in sensory acquisition/communication) could have a similar effect. Each of these effects and/or flight data elements may be input to machine-learning models, and each corresponding adjustment to flight boundary may be output by a machine-learning model, for instance as trained using training examples correlating such effects and/or flight data elements to boundaries that bound likely resulting paths and/or result in safe and/or effective flight maneuvers. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , in another example, and without limitation, adjustment of flight boundary  212  may also be dependent on the likelihood of some category of failure, based on information provided by flight data  216 , that could cause a deviation or problem if not compensated for. This may involve also taking into consideration modification of the aircraft route, or the areas within which the route can be plotted, based on possible results of failure. For example, and without limitation, if a crash or emergency landing is likely, maybe aircraft could be limited to areas with low population density, places where it could land safely on a strip of road or (if it has floats) on water, places where it is not going to crash into another craft, and the like. Each of these effects and/or flight data elements may be input to machine-learning models, and each corresponding adjustment to flight boundary may be output by a machine-learning model, for instance as trained using training examples correlating such effects and/or flight data elements to boundaries that bound likely resulting paths and/or result in safe and/or effective flight maneuvers. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , as used in this disclosure, a “flight boundary” is a boundary, surface or perimeter of a three-dimensional space in which aircraft movement should be limited. This flight boundary may change with time and, in some embodiments, is specific to a particular aircraft and/or its operation. Flight boundary may define a boundary for aircraft&#39;s entire flight from a takeoff site to its final destination, which may include stops therebetween. It should be noted that flight boundary includes a boundary “over” a certain region but is not limited to it. Space of aircraft movement may be visualized, for example and without limitation, with respect to an x-y-z Cartesian (or spherical, cylindrical, and the like, among others) system. Thus flight boundary may have lines or surfaces in such a system which form flight boundary. Flight boundary  212  may be considered as a generalized movement limit for an aircraft based on a case-by-case evaluation and determination as provided by a controller, computing device, or the like, such as flight controller  124 . 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , in some embodiments, flight controller  124  may accept pilot instruction  208  if it appropriately maintains aircraft within flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 , or override (or reject) pilot instruction  208  if it would inappropriately, unsafely, and/or undesirably lead to aircraft movement outside of determined flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 . In some embodiments, as needed or desired, flight controller  124  may set and maintain flight boundary  208  independently of any pilot instruction or input, and system may thus autonomously control determination and implementation of flight boundary  212  based on plurality of flight data  216  (i.e. pilot instruction  208  may be omitted from such embodiments). 
     With continued reference to  FIG.  2 A , in some embodiments, flight controller  124  is configured to generate control signal  220  as a function of aircraft movement limit  204  and pilot instruction  208 . Control signal  220  is configured to limit movement of aircraft to within flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 . As used in this disclosure, “control signal” is a control command or decision directed to aircraft and/or its components. For example, and without limitation, control signal may instruct and/or control operation of one or more flight components  108  such as, and without limitation, lift component(s)  112  and pusher component(s)  116  to modify aircraft speed, velocity, yaw, pitch, roll, altitude, attitude, lift, thrust, mode of flight, energy consumption rate, and the like, among others. Control signal  220  may also be used to decide whether to accept or reject a pilot instruction  208 , for example, in view of determined flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 . 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , flight controller  124  may accept pilot instruction  208  if it appropriately maintains aircraft within flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 , or override (or reject) pilot instruction  208  if it would inappropriately, unsafely, and/or undesirably lead to aircraft movement outside of determined flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 . This decision may be conveyed via control signal  220  which is indicative of, in some embodiments, at least determining whether or not pilot instruction  208  is compatible with flight boundary  212  and/or aircraft movement limit(s)  204 . 
     With continued reference to  FIG.  2 A , in some embodiments, one or more sensors (or a plurality of sensors) may be provided. These sensors may be communicatively connected to flight controller  124  and may provide or transmit plurality of flight data  216  and/or other data to flight controller  124 . Sensors may include, without limitation, at least a sensor  224 , weather or environment sensor  240 , air speed or wind sensor  244 , terrain or landscape sensor  248 , and the like, among others. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , as used in this disclosure, a “sensor” is a device that is configured to detect a phenomenon and transmit information related to the detection of the phenomenon. For example, in some cases a sensor may transduce a detected phenomenon, such as without limitation, voltage, current, speed, direction, force, torque, temperature, pressure, and the like, into a sensed signal. At least a sensor  224  may include one or more sensors which may be the same, similar or different. At least a sensor  224  may include a plurality of sensors which may be the same, similar or different. At least a sensor  224  may include one or more sensor suites with sensors in each sensor suite being the same, similar or different. At least a sensor  224  may include, for example and without limitation, a current sensor, a voltage sensor, a resistance sensor, a Wheatstone bridge, a gyroscope, an accelerometer, a torque sensor, a magnetometer, an inertial measurement unit (IMU), a pressure sensor, a force sensor, a thermal sensor, a proximity sensor, a displacement sensor, a vibration sensor, a light sensor, an optical sensor, a pitot tube, a speed sensor, and the like, among others. Sensors in accordance with embodiments disclosed herein may be configured detect a plurality of data, such as and without limitation, data relating to battery life cycle, battery consumption rate, flight path obstacles, weather, wind velocity, terrain identification, aircraft velocity, wind turbulence, battery temperature, and the like, among others. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , in an embodiment, at least a sensor  224  may be communicatively connected, connected, or coupled to at least a flight component  108  to detect a flight component datum  252  of at least a flight component  108  and to transmit it to flight controller  124 . At least a sensor  224  may be included in system  200 . As used in this disclosure, a “flight component datum” is information on a flight component of an aircraft. This may include, without limitation, information on performance and/or operation of flight component. Flight component datum may include any element of data identifying and/or describing the parameters that may affect the flight, performance and/or operation of aircraft. For example, and without limitation, flight component datum may include data describing battery performance and flight plan of aircraft. In an embodiment, flight component datum  252  and/or (plurality of) flight data  216  may include an energy capacity datum. As used in this disclosure, an “energy capacity datum” is information on energy or power available for aircraft. For example, and without limitation, energy capacity datum may include information on energy capacity (or remaining energy capacity) of an energy source, such as and without limitation, one or more batteries or battery packs of aircraft. Flight component datum  252  and/or (plurality of) flight data  216  may include, without limitation, data or information on any flight component degradation, number of flight components, number of energy sources, battery packs, or batteries onboard aircraft, type of aircraft, and the like, among others. 
     With continued reference to  FIG.  2 A , at least a flight component  108  may include a propulsor, a propeller, a motor, rotor, a rotating element, electrical energy source, battery, and the like, among others. Each flight component may be configured to generate lift and flight of electric aircraft. In some embodiments, at least a flight component  108  may include one or more lift components  112 , one or more pusher components  116 , one or more battery packs  228  including one or more batteries  232 , and one or more electric motors  236 . In an embodiment, at least a flight component  108  may include a battery  232 . Alternatively or additionally, in an embodiment, at least a flight component  108  may include a propulsor. As used in this disclosure a “propulsor component” or “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. As used in this disclosure, a “battery pack” is a set of any number of identical (or non-identical) batteries or individual battery cells. These may be configured in a series, parallel or a mixture of both configuration to deliver a desired electrical flow, current, voltage, capacity, or power density, as needed or desired. A battery may include, without limitation, one or more cells, in which chemical energy is converted into electricity (or electrical energy) and used as a source of energy or power. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , as used in this disclosure, an “energy source” is a source (or supplier) of energy (or power) to a power one or more components. For example, and without limitation, energy source may provide energy to a power source (e.g. electric motor  236 ) that in turn that drives and/or controls any other aircraft component such as other flight components. An energy source may include, for example, an electrical energy source a generator, a photovoltaic device, a fuel cell such as a hydrogen fuel cell, direct methanol fuel cell, and/or solid oxide fuel cell, an electric energy storage device (e.g., a capacitor, an inductor, and/or a battery). An electrical energy source may also include a battery cell, a battery pack, or a plurality of battery cells connected in series into a module and each module connected in series or in parallel with other modules. Configuration of an energy source containing connected modules may be designed to meet an energy or power requirement and may be designed to fit within a designated footprint in an aircraft (e.g. aircraft  100  of  FIG.  1   ). 
     In an embodiment, and still referring to  FIG.  2 A , an energy source may be used to provide a steady supply of electrical flow or power to a load over the course of a flight by an aircraft. For example, an energy source may be capable of providing sufficient power for “cruising” and other relatively low-energy phases of flight. An energy source may also be capable of providing electrical power for some higher-power phases of flight as well, particularly when the energy source is at a high state of charge (SOC), as may be the case for instance during takeoff. In an embodiment, an energy source may be capable of providing sufficient electrical power for auxiliary loads including without limitation, lighting, navigation, communications, de-icing, steering or other systems requiring power or energy. Further, an energy source may be capable of providing sufficient power for controlled descent and landing protocols, including, without limitation, hovering descent or runway landing. As used herein an energy source may have high power density where electrical power an energy source can usefully produce per unit of volume and/or mass is relatively high. “Electrical power,” as used in this disclosure, is defined as a rate of electrical energy per unit time. An energy source may include a device for which power that may be produced per unit of volume and/or mass has been optimized, at the expense of the maximal total specific energy density or power capacity, during design. Non-limiting examples of items that may be used as at least an energy source may include batteries used for starting applications including Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries which may include NCA, NMC, Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) and Lithium Manganese Oxide (LMO) batteries, which may be mixed with another cathode chemistry to provide more specific power if the application requires Li metal batteries, which have a lithium metal anode that provides high power on demand, Li ion batteries that have a silicon or titanite anode, energy source may be used, in an embodiment, to provide electrical power to an electric aircraft or drone, such as an electric aircraft vehicle, during moments requiring high rates of power output, including without limitation takeoff, landing, thermal de-icing and situations requiring greater power output for reasons of stability, such as high turbulence situations, as described in further detail below. A battery may include, without limitation a battery using nickel based chemistries such as nickel cadmium or nickel metal hydride, a battery using lithium ion battery chemistries such as a nickel cobalt aluminum (NCA), nickel manganese cobalt (NMC), lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium cobalt oxide (LCO), and/or lithium manganese oxide (LMO), a battery using lithium polymer technology, lead-based batteries such as without limitation lead acid batteries, metal-air batteries, or any other suitable battery. Persons skilled in the art, upon reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, will be aware of various devices of components that may be used as an energy source. 
     Still referring to  FIG.  2 A , an energy source may include a plurality of energy sources, referred to herein as a module of energy sources. A module may include batteries connected in parallel or in series or a plurality of modules connected either in series or in parallel designed to deliver both the power and energy requirements of the application. Connecting batteries in series may increase the voltage of at least an energy source which may provide more power on demand. High voltage batteries may require cell matching when high peak load is needed. As more cells are connected in strings, there may exist the possibility of one cell failing which may increase resistance in the module and reduce an overall power output as a voltage of the module may decrease as a result of that failing cell. Connecting batteries in parallel may increase total current capacity by decreasing total resistance, and it also may increase overall amp-hour capacity. Overall energy and power outputs of at least an energy source may be based on individual battery cell performance or an extrapolation based on measurement of at least an electrical parameter. In an embodiment where an energy source includes a plurality of battery cells, overall power output capacity may be dependent on electrical parameters of each individual cell. If one cell experiences high self-discharge during demand, power drawn from at least an energy source may be decreased to avoid damage to the weakest cell. An energy source may further include, without limitation, wiring, conduit, housing, cooling system and battery management system. Persons skilled in the art will be aware, after reviewing the entirety of this disclosure, of many different components of an energy source.

     It is to be understood that in any of methods A, B, C, D, E, F and G, and associated examples, below, any of the embodiments of flight controller of the present disclosure may be used, alternatively or additionally, to a base station, flight instructor or supervisor, and/or computing device, to set aircraft movement limits (and/or associated values), generate control signals, determine flight boundaries, receive data, receive instructions and/or perform any other described computations, determinations and/or generations. These methods are for exemplary purposes only and are not limiting to the present disclosure. Moreover, flight boundary is not restricted to merely above a region, but may include any space as discussed above. 
     Method A represents an exemplary process which may be used to set an aircraft movement limit to some value where the aircraft movement limit is used to generate a control signal for an aircraft. In some embodiments, the process of method A may be used to control or otherwise constrain the flight of, without limitation, a single-seat aircraft. For example, a single-seat aircraft may not have space for a flight instructor when a new pilot is learning how to fly the aircraft. The process of method A may enable a new pilot to more safely learn how to fly aircraft, even if a flight instructor is not present in the aircraft (e.g., to provide guidance and/or intervene). This process of method A may be used even after some training session has ended (e.g., to protect pilots flying in some common airspace, such as over a recreational airspace over a lake). In some embodiments, any of the systems and/or controllers (for example, and without limitation system  100  and/flight controller  124 ) as disclosed herein, such as those of  FIG.  2 A , may be used to implement method A, or any of the other methods of the present disclosure. 
     At a step or first step of method A, a value for aircraft movement limit may be received, wherein the aircraft movement limit may be associated with a manned aircraft. The term aircraft movement limit is associated with some limit to the movement of an aircraft (for example, and without limitation, where a pilot&#39;s instructions will be obeyed only to the degree permitted by the aircraft movement limit, if any). The value which is received at this step may be obtained from a variety of sources. In some embodiments, the value may be specified and/or selected manually, for example, by a flight instructor or some other supervisor. In some embodiments, the value may be automatically determined, for example, by a controller or computing device. For example, and without limitation, depending upon some state information associated with aircraft (e.g., the aircraft&#39;s position relative to something, the aircraft&#39;s velocity, the aircraft&#39;s altitude, etc.), the value which is received at this step may be determined using a machine-learning process, function, lookup table, mapping, etc. 
     In some embodiments, aircraft movement limit may include a position limit associated with the aircraft, including (but not limited to) an attitude limit, an altitude limit, a latitude limit, and a longitude limit. In some embodiments, a position limit may be relative to some boundary (e.g., the aircraft&#39;s position should remain over a body of water or some smaller area within that body of water, and/or within a particular altitude range). In some embodiments, a position limit may be relative to some other aircraft (e.g., any two aircraft must remain a distance of “2r” apart, where “r” is the radius of some “bubble” around each aircraft). 
     In addition to or as an alternative to position limit as aircraft movement limit, in some embodiments, the aircraft movement limit may be a velocity limit. Some examples include a forward velocity limit, a lateral velocity limit, a rotational velocity limit (e.g., about a yaw or vertical axis), a vertical velocity limit, or a limit associated with a desired direction of movement (for example, and without limitation, indicated by an input device such as a joystick, and the like, among others). Other examples of aircraft movement limit may include a limit to some other rate associated with the aircraft, such as an attitude rate limit. In some embodiments, aircraft movement limit may include an acceleration limit. 
     At a next or another step of method A, aircraft movement limit may automatically be set to the value. By setting the aircraft movement automatically, a pilot may not be able to override the changing or setting of aircraft movement limit to a different, modified or new value. For example, if pilot is flying recklessly, a flight instructor or other supervisor may set velocity limit(s) of that aircraft to zero so that the aircraft is forced to come to a stop (i.e., hover mid-air). Being able to set aircraft movement limit to the value enables flight instructor or other supervisor to take control, even if pilot is uncooperative (one non-limiting example of how an aircraft movement limit may be used). Even with a cooperative pilot, being able to set aircraft movement limit automatically (e.g., without pilot permission) may be desirable because then pilot is not distracted by a request to set or otherwise update aircraft movement limit. In some embodiments, a controller or computing device may set aircraft movement limit. 
     At a next or another step of method A, a pilot instruction from pilot may be received. For example, in some embodiments, one or more of the techniques described herein may be performed by a single-seat, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) multi-copter or and eVTOL aircraft. This exemplary multi-copter may have two input devices via which pilot instruction can be received, which may include, for example, and without limitation, a joystick with a twistable knob at the tip of joystick (both of which may be spring centered) and a (e.g., up-down) thumbwheel which may also be spring centered. The two input devices may be placed or positioned so that one hand of the pilot (e.g., the right hand) may control joystick and the other hand (e.g., the left hand) may control thumbwheel. To takeoff or land (in this case, vertically), pilot may use the up-down thumbwheel to ascend or descend vertically, thus changing the altitude of multi-copter. To yaw (e.g., rotate about a vertical or yaw axis), twistable knob at tip or top of joystick may be used. To move in a horizontal plane at a given altitude, joystick (e.g., excluding the twistable knob) may be used. In the event all input devices are released (e.g., pilot lets go of thumbwheel and joystick, including twistable knob), multi-copter may be designed to come to a stop (e.g., if it was moving) and hover in-place, mid-air. 
     At a next or another step of method A, a control signal for aircraft may be generated using pilot instruction and aircraft movement limit. For example, with the exemplary multi-copter described above, there may be ten propulsors, rotors or propellers and control signal may be for one of the propulsors. Control signal may be based on pilot instruction, at least to a degree that the pilot instruction does not violate or exceed aircraft movement limit (e.g., which may have been set to some limit at an earlier step of method A). 
     In an exemplary scenario, a flight instructor or other supervisor, or controller (e.g. flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A ), may observe that pilot is flying recklessly or is in distress. Flight instructor or supervisor, or controller such as flight controller  124 , may set velocity limit(s) (one type of aircraft movement limit, among others) of the relevant aircraft to zero. With velocity limit(s) set to zero, even if pilot moves joystick or thumbwheel, generated control signal(s), for example in accordance with method A or any of the other methods as disclosed herein, will correspond to a “hover in-place” value as opposed to a “move” value. Pilot instruction to move at a non-zero velocity will be ignored or overridden since it is in violation of velocity limit(s) which is/are currently set to zero. 
     In some embodiments, aircraft movement limit may have an initial or default value which may be loaded or otherwise set when aircraft is started. For example, the process of method A may be used to update aircraft movement limit throughout flight (e.g., depending upon the instructions from flight instructor or other supervisor, or controller such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A , new values for aircraft movement limit may be automatically determined based on current state information, etc.). Stated differently, the process of method A may be continuously performed during a flight to allow aircraft movement limit to be continuously or periodically updated, as needed or desired. 
     In an exemplary embodiment, aircraft may include, without limitation a floatable multi-copter with floats which permit the multi-copter to take off and land on water. Multi-copter may be constrained to fly over water using, for example, position limit(s) in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure. In this exemplary embodiment, multi-copter may be a single-seat, VTOL multi-copter. Multi-copter may be an electric multi-copter, a hybrid-electric multi-copter, or a fuel-powered multi-copter. Multi-copter may include, without limitation, two floats which permit multi-copter to take off and land on water, if desired or as needed. This exemplary multi-copter may be designed to be easy to fly so that inexperienced pilots (e.g., without a pilot&#39;s license) can quickly learn how to fly it without having to undergo long hours of flight training. For safety reasons, training of new pilots may be envisioned to occur over water because crashing or having a hard landing on water is relatively safer than on land. To further ensure safety of new pilots as they learn how to fly a multi-copter, any of the techniques in accordance with embodiments disclosed in the present disclosure may be used to make the learning experience even safer. 
     In some embodiments, position limit (a type of aircraft movement limit, among others) may be set to some value that corresponds to “over water.” For example, values received in accordance with method A, or any of the other embodiments as disclosed herein, may correspond to permitted over-water locations (e.g., one or more latitude and longitude pairs which correspond to permitted positions over water, a “stay over water” bit may be set to TRUE or FALSE, etc.). In some embodiments, these values may have some buffer or margin between the shoreline and the permitted positions. 
     In some embodiments, to ensure the safety of new pilots, there may be some limit on floatable multi-copter&#39;s velocity and position in overwater training sessions. In one example, floatable multi-copters may be constrained to have: a position limit (e.g., must stay over water, cannot go higher than an altitude limit, must stay a minimum distance away from other multi-copters/pilots, etc.), a velocity limit (e.g., in any direction or along any axis of rotation), an attitude rate limit (e.g., so the pilots cannot go nose-up or nose-down too quickly), etc. 
     In some embodiments, generation of control signal, for example, in accordance with method A or any of the other embodiments as disclosed herein, in the context of the floatable multi-copter example (i.e., multi-copter is limited to be over water) may be position-based and/or sensor-based. For example, with a sensor-based approach, there may be sensors mounted to, for example, and without limitation, a fuselage or lower surface of multi-copter which (e.g., based on the returned signal) may be able differentiate between water and land. Or, with a position-based approach, aircraft may communicate with a global positioning system (GPS) satellite, or the like, in order to determine its position (e.g., latitude and longitude). Given its position, in combination with some database and/or map of bodies of water and their location(s), it can be determined whether multi-copter is over land or water. Any of the suitable sensors as disclosed herein may be efficaciously utilized in this sensor-based approach. 
     The capability, in accordance with some embodiment, to configure aircraft movement limit so that aircraft is limited to remain over water may permit a variety of flight modes which can be turned on or off, as desired or needed. For example, and without limitation, floatable multi-copter may also take off and land on land. In one example usage scenario, on weekends, floatable multi-copter may be brought to a body of water and may be flown over a body of water. During this time, for safety, aircraft movement limit(s) may be set so that aircraft is limited to fly over water. At the end of the day, floatable multi-copter may be brought back home where the multi-copter may be used as a personal transportation device to fly between a home and an office during weekdays. This flight path may go over land and for this type of flight path aircraft movement limit may be (re)set so that multi-copter is permitted to fly over land. 
     The above floatable multi-copter example illustrating use of a position limit to influence a multi-copter to fly over water may, in accordance with some embodiments, be described by method B. In an embodiment, method B provides a process to set a position limit so that an aircraft remains over water. Method B may be considered a modified version of method A with modified steps, and as such certain details discussed in conjunction with method A above are not repeated. In various embodiments, the process of method B may be initiated by a pilot (e.g., so that the pilot can put an aircraft into this mode even if they are by themselves), a flight instructor or other supervisor (e.g., getting aircraft ready for a training session), or by a base station near a body of water (e.g., which may automatically detect aircrafts in the vicinity of the body of water and automatically initiates the process shown here) and/or by a controller such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A . Base station may include, without limitation, an air traffic control (ATC) facility, an airport, a landing strip, pad or deck, a recharging station, a refueling station, a fleet management facility, a weather station, and the like, among others. Base station may be, without limitation, equipped with and/or communicatively connected to a controller, such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A . 
     At a step or first step of method B, a value for aircraft movement limit may be received, wherein aircraft movement limit may be associated with a manned aircraft pilot and aircraft movement limit may include a position limit, among others. For example, position limit may include limits on aircraft&#39;s permitted latitude and/or longitude (e.g., so that aircraft remains over water which may be safer than flying over land). In some embodiments, the value may be for or associated with some part of body of water so that aircraft may remain over a subsection of body of water instead of being able to roam over the entire body of water. 
     At a next or another step of method B, aircraft movement limit may be automatically set to the value, wherein the value is associated with body of water. In one example, before a training session or lesson, a flight instructor may fly aircraft from land, and land on body of water. Aircraft movement limit may then be set at this step. 
     At a next or another step of method B, a pilot instruction may be received from a pilot. For example, pilot instruction may push a joystick forward and hold it, causing an exemplary multi-copter, or other suitable aircraft as disclosed herein, to fly forward and approach the shoreline of body of water. 
     At a next or another step of method B, a control signal for aircraft may be generated using pilot instruction and aircraft movement limit, wherein control signal may constrain aircraft to stay above body of water. For example, as an exemplary multi-copter, or other suitable aircraft as disclosed herein, approaches the shoreline, control signal (e.g., directed to one of the propulsors, rotors, or the like) may transition from a “fly forward” value to a “hover in place” value so that multi-copter, or other aircraft, does not cross some imaginary boundary (e.g., at or near the shoreline). In some embodiments, aircraft may be constrained to remain over some region of the body of water (e.g., as opposed to being able to range over the entire body of water). For example, and without limitation, if there are two or more aircraft flying over the body of water, in some embodiments, the aircrafts may be confined or otherwise constrained to different regions of the body of water. 
     As also noted above and herein, at least some of the techniques disclosed herein may be used to ensure the safety of pilots learning how to fly. In some embodiments, a base station may be used to adjust the value of aircraft movement limit (e.g., during a training session of new pilots, or even after a training session by a lifeguard or monitor of a shared recreational body of water). In such embodiments, base station may be capable of changing the value of aircraft movement limit in a selected aircraft. For example, multiple pilots may be learning how to fly a multi-copter, or other aircraft. To mitigate damage in the event of a hard landing or crash, multi-copters (or other aircrafts) may be compelled to fly over a body of water, for example, using some of the techniques described above and herein. In this example, there may be a flight instructor or supervisor on the ground at this overwater training site. Flight instructor may have access to a base station which can selectively adjust aircraft movement limit on a selected multi-copter, or other aircraft, as or if needed. In some embodiments, a flight controller (e.g. flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A ) may be used to adjust the value of aircraft movement limit. 
     For example, the pilot of a first multi-copter MC1, or other aircraft, may be flying in a safe and responsible manner. The pilot of a second multi-copter MC2, or other aircraft, may be flying too fast and/or recklessly. To slow second multi-copter down, one or more velocity limits (a type of aircraft movement limit, among others) for MC2 may be decreased using base station to provide instruction. In some instances, and without limitation, using base station, flight instructor, controller, or computing device may identify MC2 as the multi-copter to which instruction is directed and specify one or more new velocity limits. In some embodiments, predefined limits (for example, and without limitation, multiples of five or ten) and/or qualitative suggestions (e.g., slow down a little, slow down a lot, stop, etc.) may be offered by base station. Base station may then generate an instruction and broadcast it over, for example and without limitation, a wireless channel so that it may be received by both MC1 and MC2. In such an example, among other embodiments, instruction may include an identification of the multi-copter, or other aircraft, to which the instruction is directed (in this case, MC2). With this “To” field, first multi-copter MC1 would have knowledge that instruction is not directed to it and ignore or overlook the instruction. Second multi-copter MC2 would be able to see its identifier in the “To” field and make the changes specified by instruction. 
     In some embodiments, each aircraft, for example first and second multi-copter, may manage multiple aircraft movement limits. Since not all aircraft movement limits may necessarily be set by a given instruction, in some embodiments, an instruction may identify which aircraft movement limit(s) are being set or otherwise updated by this particular instruction. For example, and without limitation, all velocity limits may be set or otherwise updated by an instruction. Instruction may also include, without limitation, new values for those specified limits which instruction may set, for example and without limitation, all velocity limits to a new value. 
     Some examples of various aircraft movement limits include, without limitation, an altitude limit (e.g., above which aircraft is not permitted to fly) as well as one or more velocity limits (e.g., associated with movement relative to various directions, planes, axes, etc.) where aircraft is not permitted to fly faster than the limit (e.g., relative to the associated direction, plane, axis, etc.). For example, there may be a vertical velocity limit (e.g., how fast aircraft can ascend or descend along a vertical axis), a forward flight velocity limit (e.g., for flight within some lateral plane at a given altitude), a yaw rate limit (e.g., how fast aircraft is permitted to rotate about a yaw or vertical axis), as well as a pitch rate limit (e.g., how fast aircraft is permitted to pitch nose-up or nose-down about a pitch axis), etc. The latter two limits may more generally be referred to as rotational rate limits. 
     In an extreme example, velocity limit(s) of aircraft, such as second multi-copter MC2 above, may be reduced to zero, such that the multi-copter, or other aircraft, comes to a stop, hovering mid-air. In some embodiments, if desired, base station may be used to manually land the halted multi-copter (or other aircraft) or initiate an autonomous landing sequence from some base station (e.g., managed by an on-the-ground flight instructor, other supervisor, controller such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A , or computing device). As with the instruction to change the velocity limit(s), such an instruction may be sent wirelessly and may include some unique aircraft identifier so that the appropriate aircraft lands and the other aircraft are not compelled or forced to land. 
     Alternatively, if a pilot is demonstrating progress and is flying in a responsible manner, one or more aircraft movement limits may be increased. For example, since pilot of first aircraft MC1 (as discussed above) has been flying safely on current settings, one or more aircraft movement limits, such as a velocity limit and/or an altitude limit, may be increased, as needed or desired. 
     In various embodiments, base station features and/or operation may be implemented in a variety of ways, for example, and without limitation, depending upon facilities available at the site, such as an overwater training site. For example, if there is no power source, base station may be a battery-powered, hand-held, and/or portable base station. Alternatively, if an AC power source is available, then the base station may operate off an AC power supply and be more permanent and/or larger. Any appropriate wireless communication channel may efficaciously be used, such as and without limitation, satellite communication, mobile network communication, radio communication, and the like, among others. In some embodiment, flight controller  124  (see  FIG.  2 A ) may efficaciously be provided at base station or may communicate with base station, as needed or desired. 
     In some embodiments, a process to set an aircraft movement limit using a base station may be exemplified by method C. Steps of the process of method C, in some embodiments, may efficaciously be used in conjunction with methods A and B, as well as other embodiments of the present disclosure. 
     At a step or first step of method C, an instruction to set aircraft movement limit may be received from a base station, wherein the instruction may include an aircraft identifier and a specified value for aircraft movement limit. For example, instruction may include an aircraft identifier, such as for second aircraft as “MC2”, and a new value for one or more velocity limit(s), for example and without limitation, as “5 mph.” In some embodiments, this is how a value for aircraft movement limit may be received at a suitable step in method A, such as a first step. 
     At a next or another step of method C, it may be decided whether to obey instruction, including by determining if aircraft identifier matches an identifier associated with the aircraft. For example, first aircraft MC1 could ignore instruction but second aircraft MC2 could perform the instruction to decrease velocity limit(s). In some embodiments, the decision at this step may include verification and/or security processes to prevent a malicious and/or unauthorized user from changing aircraft movement limit. 
     At a next or another step of method C, in response to deciding to obey the instruction, aircraft movement limit may automatically be set to the specified value. For example, and without limitation, instruction may include an aircraft identifier associated with second aircraft MC2 and so MC2 would make the change or update to the specified aircraft movement limit specified by instruction. In some embodiments, setting aircraft movement limit to a value at a step (e.g. second step) may include these last above two steps of method C. 
     Conversely, if it is decided not to obey instruction, then aircraft movement limit(s) is/are not changed. For example, as discussed above, an instruction to change an aircraft movement limit may be directed to second aircraft MC2, and not first aircraft MC1, and so the latter aircraft could ignore the instruction, keeping its aircraft movement limit unchanged. 
     In some exemplary embodiments, geofencing may be provided wherein a body of water may be divided into two (or more) regions with the arrival of a second aircraft or multi-copter such as MC2 in addition to an already present aircraft or multi-copter such as MC1. In such an example, each region or zone may have at most one aircraft to prevent collisions. 
     For example, a single or first aircraft MC1 may be flying over a lake. When only one aircraft (such as first aircraft MC1) is present, that aircraft may be permitted to fly or otherwise roam over all parts of lake. In other words, there may be no part of lake that is off limits to aircraft MC1, at least in the current state or time. Now, a second aircraft (such as second aircraft MC2) may arrive at lake so that there are now two aircraft (such as MC1 and MC2) at the lake. To prevent a collision between the two aircraft, lake may be divided in half to create or otherwise define two regions, such as a first region and a second region. MC1 may only be permitted to fly over first region and cannot fly in second region. Similarly, MC2 may only be permitted to fly over second region and may not be permitted to fly over first region. This description is one example, without limitation, of how geofencing may be implemented. 
     In some embodiments, base station may perform a number of functions or operations to support geofencing or division of lake, such as described above. For example, each of the two aircraft (such as MC1 and MC2) may broadcast information over a wireless channel, or the like, which may permit base station to know how many aircrafts are flying over lake. For example, each aircraft may broadcast its aircraft identifier (at least) which may permit base station to subsequently direct instructions (e.g., to change an aircraft movement limit) to a particular aircraft. This information broadcast by aircraft may also permit base station to detect when there is a change from a single aircraft over a body of water, such as a lake, to when two or more aircrafts are present over body of water, such as the lake. Once base station detects an increase in the number of aircrafts from one to two or more, base station may set appropriate aircraft movement limits in each aircraft, for example aircrafts MC1 and MC2, so that they fly over respective regions, such as first and second regions for aircrafts MC1 and MC2 respectively. In some embodiments, base station may store a variety of floorplans for various numbers of aircrafts so that there are predefined regions readily available. For example, base station may have a floorplan for two aircrafts (e.g., with two predefined regions), a floorplan for three aircrafts (e.g., with three predefined regions), etc. In some embodiments, flight controller  124  (see, e.g.,  FIG.  2 A ) may perform a number of functions or operations to support geofencing or division of a particular region. 
     In some embodiments, base station (and/or flight controller  124 ) may perform operations or functions to more smoothly and/or safely switch from n regions to (n+1) regions or vice versa. For example, it may be safer to have all of the aircrafts come to a stop when changing the number and/or location of the regions. Base station may issue instructions to set appropriate aircraft movement limits, bringing all of the aircrafts to a stop. Base station may then issue a second round or set of instructions to the stopped aircrafts to update the appropriate aircraft movement limits with the new regions. Base station may then issue a third round or set of instructions to update the appropriate aircraft movement limits so that the aircrafts can again move (e.g., within the new region allocated to that particular aircraft). 
     To more quickly and/or safely switch from geofencing for a single aircraft, such as for MC1 over a lake, to that for two aircrafts, such as MC1 and MC2 over the lake, as discussed above, in some embodiments, base station (and/or flight controller  124 ) may be used to escort or nudge an aircraft to a different part of the lake if its current position is not within its new region. For example, suppose that MC1 had been in second region when the switch from a single region to two regions was about to be performed. In some embodiments, a flight instructor, a controller, or a computing device may use the base station to take over the controls of MC1 and fly MC1 from second region to first region to more quickly make the switch. Alternatively, in some embodiments, base station may be used to initiate some autonomous (e.g. using a controller, computing device, or the like) flight of MC1 from second region to first region. In contrast, if a novice pilot had to fly out of second region to first region on their own so that the two-region floorplan could be obeyed, it might take longer, be more stressful for a pilot, and/or increase the likelihood of a collision. 
     Similarly, base station (and/or flight controller  124 ) may detect when the number of aircrafts flying over lake decreases, for example, because someone is done flying. For brevity, associated operations are not described herein, but operations and/or processes (similar to those described above) may be performed to make the switch from (n+1) regions to n regions easier, faster, and/or safer. In some embodiments, base station may perform any of these operations or functions (as discussed herein including above) autonomously or otherwise automatically (e.g., without requiring the intervention of a flight instructor or supervisor on the ground) by utilizing, for example and without limitation, a controller, computing device, or the like. For instance, this could enable a family or group of friends to fly together over a body of water without having to have someone man base station. People could come and go throughout the day and the different regions (e.g., enforced through the appropriate setting of the appropriate aircraft movement limit(s)) would be updated automatically. 
     In some embodiments, a process to perform geofencing using regions over a body of water may be exemplified by method D. For example, the process of method D may be performed by a base station (and/or flight controller  124 ), such as the above described base station and first aircraft MC1 and second aircraft MC2 over a lake. In the context of method A, the value received at a step, such as first step, for a given aircraft movement limit (e.g., used to enforce the new boundaries of the new floorplan) may be received from base station and the base station may perform this process, in accordance with method D, in order to determine or otherwise generate that value. 
     At a step or first step of method D, a plurality of aircraft may be counted in order to obtain a number of aircraft. For example, base station may count two or more aircrafts, such as and without limitation, first aircraft MC1 and second aircraft MC2. 
     At a next or another step of method D, a floorplan corresponding to the number of aircraft may be selected from a plurality of floorplans, wherein the floorplan may include a separate region over a body of water for each aircraft in the plurality of aircraft to fly over. For example, and without limitation, base station may store a floorplan with two regions for when there are two aircrafts, a floorplan with three regions for when there are three aircrafts, and so on. For the example with two aircraft MC1 and MC2 over a lake, the floorplan for two aircrafts would be selected (e.g., where the lake may be divided down the middle). 
     At another or next step of method D, each aircraft in the plurality of aircraft may be assigned to one of the regions in the floorplan. For example, in the context of two aircrafts, first aircraft MC1 may be assigned to first region and second aircraft MC2 may be assigned to second region. Depending upon the assigned region, base station may update the appropriate aircraft movement limits. For example, and without limitation, base station may send an instruction to update one or more location limits in MC1 to value(s) that correspond to first region. Similarly, and without limitation, base station could update appropriate location limit(s) in MC2 to value(s) that correspond to second region. 
     This process, and/or steps, of method D may be repeatedly performed so that as the number of aircraft changes (e.g., some aircraft begin flying and others end their flight), the appropriate floorplan and/or number of regions may be used. 
     In various exemplary embodiments, the state of aircraft (e.g., a distance from the aircraft, the aircraft&#39;s velocity, the aircraft&#39;s altitude, etc.) may be used to select an appropriate value for aircraft movement limit. This is further described below by way of a more general process followed by more specific examples which can illustrate different applications or usage scenarios. 
     In some embodiments, a process to set an aircraft movement limit by using a value which is selected based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft may be exemplified by method E. At a step or first step of method E, a value for an aircraft movement limit may be received, wherein aircraft movement limit is associated with a manned aircraft and the value is determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft. For example, as described in more detail below, in various embodiments, state information may relate to a distance from aircraft (e.g., along a desired direction of movement), an (absolute) altitude of aircraft, or a (forward) velocity of aircraft. Depending upon the state of aircraft, appropriate values for certain aircraft movement limits may be set automatically (e.g., by controller, such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A , computer, computing device, and the like, and/or without intervention by a flight instructor or supervisor on the ground). 
     At another or next step of method E, aircraft movement limit may be automatically set to the value. For example, in some cases, aircraft movement limit may be a velocity limit along a desired direction of movement which may be used to perform geofencing. In some embodiments, aircraft movement limit may be a velocity limit and may be used to slow down aircraft which are flying low to the ground. In some embodiments, aircraft movement limit may include an attitude limit which may be used to reduce stress on certain types of aircrafts which have certain structural configurations and/or vulnerabilities. 
     At another or next step of method E, a pilot instruction may be received from a pilot. At another or next step of method E, a control signal may be generated for aircraft using pilot instruction and aircraft movement limit. In some embodiments (e.g., where a velocity limit is used to enforce a geofence), any pilot instruction to fly beyond a boundary would be countermanded by limiting a desired velocity per the velocity limit. Or, if a low flying aircraft tries to fly faster than a velocity limit&#39;s current value, the “too fast” desired velocity would be reduced in order to comply with the velocity limit. Or, if an aircraft is flying forward too fast and tries to go nose-up or nose-down too much at the same time (which could stress the airframe), the attitude limit would act to limit the desired attitude, thus reducing the stress on the airframe. 
     A more specific example of method E may include a geofencing example wherein an aircraft should or must remain over a body of water. Such an example may include, in an embodiment, a velocity limit which may be set based on a distance along a desired direction of movement to a shoreline. For instance, one or more velocity limits (a type of aircraft movement limit, among others) may be used to enforce a geofence which includes a shoreline. In other words, aircraft may be constrained to fly over water over some part of body of water or (alternatively) the entire body of water. To ensure that aircraft does not fly past shoreline (e.g., because of some drift or error due to sensor noise, wind, etc.), velocity limit may be decreased (e.g., automatically using a controller, computing device, or the like) as the distance (measured along some desired direction of movement) gets closer to shoreline (or, more generally, some border or geofence). Although a shoreline is used in this example as a geofence boundary, it is noted that this technique applies more generally to any type of geofence boundary, not just a shoreline. In various embodiments, and without limitation, using a velocity limit to enforce a geofence may be used alone or in combination with using a position limit, or other type of aircraft movement limit, to enforce a geofence, as needed or desired. A desired direction of movement may be indicated using some input device, such as, and without limitation, a joystick. For example, suppose pilot pushed joystick forward so that the desired direction of movement is forward. The distance between aircraft and shoreline ( 900 ) along the forward desired direction of movement may be calculated and (generally speaking) as that distance decreases, the velocity limit in that direction (in this case, the forward direction) would similarly decrease until it reaches zero. 
     A graph may be utilized to illustrate embodiments of velocity limits which may be adjusted based on a distance along a desired direction of movement to a shoreline. For example, and without limitation, the x-axis may represent the distance to shoreline along some desired direction of movement and the y-axis may represent velocity (e.g., along the desired direction of movement). For instance, when aircraft is relatively far from shoreline (e.g. distance D1 or greater), velocity limit (e.g., which may be set and/or adjusted per this technique) may be set a relatively high default and/or global value. If a horizontal line represents this, the area beneath this line would show the relevant permitted velocities. Thus, at distances of D1 or greater (e.g., to the shoreline along the desired direction of movement), velocity limit (again, along the relevant desired direction of movement) may be set to some global and/or default value. If aircraft gets closer to shoreline (e.g. distance less than D1 and greater than or equal to D2), velocity limit may be reduced to less than default and/or global value (e.g. velocity limit V1) for distances between D2 and D1 to the shoreline. Again, this could be represented by another horizontal line on graph with the area beneath this line showing the relevant permitted velocities. If aircraft gets even closer to the shoreline (e.g. distance less than D2 and greater than or equal to D3), velocity limit may be further reduced (e.g. to velocity limit V2) for distances between D3 and D2 to the shoreline. Again, this could be represented by another horizontal line on graph with the area beneath this line showing the relevant permitted velocities. Finally, at distances between 0 (zero) and D3 to shoreline, velocity limit may be reduced to zero. For example, even if pilot of an aircraft is in this range and is pushing joystick (or the like) forward, the aircraft will not fly forward because the forward velocity limit has been set to zero. As described above, this keeps aircraft over a body or region of water (e.g. lake or region of lake), even if there is some wind gust and/or sensor noise which might otherwise inadvertently cause the aircraft to cross the shoreline boundary. 
     It should be noted, in accordance with some embodiments, that velocity limit of zero (in region 0-D3) is specific for a current or given desired direction of movement (in this case, forward) and other desired directions of movement may have non-zero velocity limits which would permit aircraft to fly in those directions. For example, suppose that an aircraft had continued to fly forward so that it was within region the 0-D3 region with respect to forward direction of movement. Although the limit on forward direction of movement is set to zero, other directions of movement may have non-zero velocity limits. For example, and without limitation, along a lateral desired direction of movement assume that the distance to the shoreline is greater than D1 such that the velocity limit along lateral direction is set to some global and/or default value so that the pilot can fly laterally (i.e., sideways, parallel to the shoreline) up to the default and/or global velocity limit, if and as desired. 
     Some types of movement supported by an exemplary aircraft may not change the effective distance to the shoreline and therefore may not be set or otherwise adjusted per the above-described technique. For example, exemplary aircraft may rotate about a vertical (yaw) axis of rotation. Such a rotation would not change the position of aircraft relative to shoreline and therefore any limit related to rotating about a vertical (yaw) axis of rotation may not be adjusted or otherwise set in the manner described here. Similarly, if so instructed by pilot, exemplary aircraft may ascend or descend along the vertical (yaw) axis without any front-to-back or side-to-side (lateral) movement. This up-down type of movement also would not effectively move aircraft any closer to or further away from the shoreline and therefore a velocity limit in the vertical direction is not limited per the technique described here. 
     In accordance with some embodiments, by setting or otherwise adjusting velocity limits in this more nuanced manner (e.g., instead of enforcing the same limit for all velocities in all directions), aircraft may be forced to slow down in those directions which would bring it closer to the shoreline (or, more generally, the geofence boundary) while not necessarily limiting the velocity in other directions (e.g., which would move the aircraft further away from the shoreline or which would not effectively change the distance of the aircraft to the shoreline (e.g., rotation)). Thus, even if aircraft flies up to shoreline and it is “touching” the shoreline, it can still fly away, for example, by rotating around a vertical (yaw) axis to face the center of the body of water and subsequently flying away from the shoreline, or by flying backwards away from the shoreline (e.g., without first rotating to face the center of the body of water). 
     In one exemplary embodiment of how this example fits with method E, aircraft movement limit (e.g., referred to in a step or first step of method E) may include a velocity limit and the value may be determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft (see, e.g., a step or first step of method E), which may include determining a distance along a desired direction of movement from aircraft to a boundary (where the state information associated with aircraft may include the distance) and determining the value for velocity limit based at least in part on the distance where a first, lower value is determined for the velocity limit based at least in part on a first, closer distance (e.g., region 0-D3 discussed above) and a second, higher value is determined for the velocity limit based at least in part on a second, further distance (e.g., region D3-D2 discussed above). 
     In some embodiments, limits on deceleration (or, more generally, acceleration) or other limits may ensure that any limiting of a desired velocity (e.g., specified or requested by pilot) per the appropriate velocity limit does not induce a sudden deceleration or other undesirable effect (e.g., when generating a control signal (e.g. at third step of method E) which enforces a velocity limit set using this technique). Stated differently, in some embodiments, any enforcement of a velocity limit may be balanced with enforcement of one or more other limits (e.g., on deceleration) to produce a desirable flight experience (e.g., so long as in the long run velocity limit is eventually obeyed). 
     In some embodiments, a similar technique of adjusting or otherwise setting velocity limits may be used to enforce a nucleoid (e.g., bubble-like) type of geofence. In an exemplary embodiment, velocity limits may be adjusted in order to enforce a nucleoid type of geofence. In this example, a bird&#39;s eye view may be envisioned of a first aircraft and a second aircraft wherein the two aircrafts are facing each other. To prevent collisions, each aircraft may have a conceptual or virtual “bubble” around it, such as a first bubble surrounding first aircraft and a second bubble surrounding second aircraft. As each aircraft moves about, the corresponding bubble also moves so that the aircraft is always at the center of the conceptual or virtual bubble (e.g., the aircraft may be envisioned to be like a nucleus with the bubble surrounding it). 
     In such a nucleoid geofencing example, aircrafts should remain, for example and without limitation, at least “2r” apart from each other where “r” is the radius of the bubbles. In other words, bubbles may touch, but they cannot overlap. In an exemplary state, first and second bubbles may be touching but not overlapping. In this situation, forward velocity limits of two aircrafts may be set to zero because moving forward would cause the two bubbles to overlap (i.e., be closer than the permitted distance of “2r”) and therefore the two aircrafts are not permitted to fly forwards. A range of permitted and non-permitted directions of movements for each aircraft may be mapped (for example, in 2-D or 3-D space). Non-permitted directions of movements would bring the aircrafts closer to each other, that is, the bubbles would overlap. Within this range of non-permitted directions of movement, the velocity limits in those directions may be set to zero so that the bubbles do not overlap. However, if either pilot wished to fly their aircraft sideways (e.g., along lateral desired directions of movement), this could increase the distance between the two aircrafts and therefore there may be no adjustment (e.g., no reduction) to a lateral velocity limit. Stated differently, there may be a non-zero (i.e., higher) velocity limit for lateral direction(s) compared to forward direction(s). For example, lateral direction may not fall within the mapped space (which represents the range of movement directions which would cause the two aircrafts to move closer to each other). 
     In an exemplary embodiment, of how the above example may fit into method E, aircraft movement limit (see, e.g., a step or first step of method E) may include a velocity limit and the value is determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft (see, e.g., a step or first step of method E), which may include determining whether a desired direction of movement would move aircraft closer to or further away from a second aircraft. The desired direction of movement may be a type of state information associated with aircraft because (as an example) the desired direction of movement may be received from, without limitation, a joystick, or the like, associated with aircraft and therefore the desired direction of movement would correspond to a state (e.g., pushed direction) of the joystick. In response to determining that desired direction of movement would move aircraft closer to second aircraft, a first, lower value may be selected or otherwise determined for velocity limit (e.g., a velocity limit of zero may be selected for forward direction of second aircraft); in response to determining that the desired direction of movement would move aircraft further away from the second aircraft, a second, higher value may be selected or otherwise determined for velocity limit (e.g., a non-zero velocity limit may be selected for lateral direction of second aircraft). 
     As described herein, including above, other types of movement and/or rotation which increase or maintain the distance between two aircrafts are not necessarily restricted in this manner. For example, a diagonal (e.g., forward-left or forward-right) movement may be permitted, so long as the two bubbles (discussed above) do not overlap and the distance between the two aircrafts stays the same or increases. This may, for example, permit the two aircrafts to “slide” by each other. Or, one of the aircrafts may rotate to face in another direction (i.e., away from the other aircraft) and fly away. 
     In some embodiments, in addition to the desired direction of movement (and whether that would bring the two aircrafts closer to each other), the value for the velocity limit may also be determined based on the current distance between aircrafts. For example, pilots may find it annoying, counterintuitive, and/or inexplicable to have velocity limits drop when another aircraft is relatively far away. It may be more intuitive and useful if velocity limits were only reduced when two aircrafts are sufficiently close to each other. For example, the following table may be used

     In an exemplary embodiment, of how this may fit into method E, aircraft movement limit (see, e.g., a step or first step of method E) may include a velocity limit and the value may be determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft (see, e.g., a step or first step of method E), which may include determining whether a desired direction of movement would move aircraft closer to or further away from a second aircraft, determining a distance between aircraft and second aircraft, and comparing the distance to a distance threshold. If (1) the desired direction of movement would move aircraft closer to second aircraft and (2) the distance does not exceed the distance threshold, a first, lower value may be selected or otherwise determined for velocity limit (see, e.g., the first row in Table 1). If (1) the desired direction of movement would move aircraft further away from second aircraft and (2) the distance does not exceed the distance threshold, a second, higher value may be selected or otherwise determined for velocity limit (see, e.g., the second row in Table 1). 
     A variety of techniques may efficaciously be utilized to calculate distances between aircrafts. In one example, and without limitation, each aircraft may continuously broadcast its position (e.g., over a wireless channel, or the like, among others). Each aircraft may listen for the positions of other aircrafts in its vicinity and continuously calculate distances, as needed or desired. 
     In some embodiments, some of this distance calculation may performed by a base station to conserve power and/or processing resources on the aircrafts. For example, and without limitation, each aircraft may broadcast its position (e.g., latitude, longitude, altitude, and the like) over a wireless channel, or the like. Base station (and/or flight controller  124 ) may receive these positions, monitor relative distances between aircrafts, and adjust velocity limits accordingly from base station. For example, and without limitation, base station may send an instruction to a specified aircraft in order to set aircraft movement limit(s) on, for example, second aircraft MC2 but not on first aircraft MC1 (which are also discussed above). Alternatively, each aircraft may track distances and set velocity limits accordingly on its own, as needed or desired. 
     In some embodiments, all of the aircraft may be treated like (point) charges with the same sign (e.g., a positive point charge or a negative point charge) and aircraft movement limit may be set in a manner that models the repulsive force between two charges of the same sign. In an exemplary embodiment, a modeled repulsive force may be a type of aircraft movement limit to enforce a geofence. For example, and without limitations first and second aircrafts may both be (e.g., conceptually) associated with the same charge (for example, a negative point charge). To prevent the two aircrafts from colliding with each other and/or enforce a geofence, a type of aircraft movement limit referred to herein as a modeled repulsive force may be set. The value of this modeled repulsive force may be determined based on the distance between first and second aircrafts such that the modeled repulsive force increases as the two aircrafts get closer to each other. This is sometimes referred to as a repulsive potential field model. In one example, and without limitation, per Coulomb&#39;s Law, the repulsive force between two point charges of the same sign (and ignoring the magnitude of the charge) varies inversely with the square of the distance between the two. 
     When control signal is generated for aircraft (see, e.g., at a fourth step of method A), the modeled repulsive force may be used to model a repulsion between first aircraft and second aircraft. Naturally, as the two aircrafts get closer to each other, the value of the modeled repulsive force would increase and the modeled repulsion will be more pronounced and/or noticeable. 
     In one example, and without limitation suppose that pilot of first aircraft (e.g., MC1) may be pushing his/her joystick forwards so that first aircraft flies towards second aircraft (e.g., MC2) (without limitation, the two aircrafts are facing each other in this example). Suppose the two aircrafts get relatively close to each other and then the pilot lets go of his/her joystick so that the joystick goes into a centered and/or neutral position. Normally, releasing the joystick like this may cause an aircraft to come to a gradual stop and then hover in-place. However, at close distances, the non-negligible value of the modeled repulsive force would (at least in this example) cause first aircraft to come to a stop and then “bounce back” away from second aircraft as a way of modeling a repulsive force between the two aircrafts since they are too close to each other. This may, for example, signal or otherwise remind pilot to stay away from the other aircraft and/or that the other aircraft is off limits. In some embodiments, as the value of the modeled repulsive force increases (e.g., because the two aircrafts are closer to each other) the amount of displacement or “bounce back” may be greater. 
     In another example of how modeled repulsive force may be used to model a repulsion between two aircrafts, the modeled repulsive force may correspond to how much displacement in the joystick is required (e.g., towards the other, repelling aircraft) in order for an aircraft to hover in-place (e.g., when two aircrafts get too close to each other). During normal operation (e.g., when one aircraft is not too close to another aircraft), a neutral or centered joystick position would cause the aircraft to hover in-place. However, in some embodiments, if first aircraft and second aircraft are too close to each other, an active or definite displacement of the joystick, other hand control, or the like, may be required to keep the aircraft hovering in-place. In some embodiments, a pilot would have to push the joystick further away from center in order to hover in-place more as two aircrafts get closer to each other (e.g., a smaller joystick displacement may be sufficient for in-place hovering when two aircrafts are further away from each other). 
     In some embodiments, a process to set modeled repulsive force as a type of aircraft movement limit may be exemplified by method F. In certain embodiments, method F relates to at least method A and its steps, among other methods and/or steps as disclosed herein. 
     In a step or first step of method F, a value may be received for aircraft movement limit, wherein the aircraft movement limit may be associated with a manned aircraft and the value may be determined based at least in part on state information associated with the aircraft, which may include determining a distance between the aircraft and a second aircraft, wherein the state information associated with the aircraft may include the distance, and determining the value for the modeled repulsive force based at least in part on the distance. For example, the value for the modeled repulsive force may be determined or otherwise calculated to be small and/or non-negligible numbers or values when two aircrafts are relatively far apart. For simplicity, and without limitation, the value for the modeled repulsive force may be determined to be zero at distances greater than some threshold (e.g., so that a repulsive modeling or repulsive effect does not come into play at distances above that threshold). 
     In another or next step of method F, aircraft movement limit may automatically be set to the value. For example, and without limitation, the modeled repulsive force may be set to the value calculated in the manner recited in the prior step. 
     In another or next step of method F, pilot instruction may be received from pilot. For example, and without limitation, pilot instruction may be received through a joystick, some other input device, or the like. 
     In another or next step of method F, a control signal for aircraft may be generated using pilot instruction and aircraft movement limit, which may include modeling repulsion between aircraft and a second aircraft based at least in part on the modeled repulsive force. For example, as the value of the modeled repulsive force increases, the control signal would cause aircraft to exhibit more of repulsion between itself and second aircraft. 
     In some embodiments, control signal may cause aircraft to come to a stop and subsequently move away from second aircraft in response to an input device of aircraft returning to a neutral position after being in a position associated with aircraft flying towards second aircraft. For example, and without limitation, the larger the modeled repulsive force is, the more “bounce back” there would be. 
     In some embodiments, an amount of displacement by an input device of aircraft in order for aircraft to hover in-place may vary based at least in part on the modeled repulsive force. For example, the larger the modeled repulsive force is, the more displacement from center (e.g., for a joystick) could be required to keep aircraft hovering in-place. 
     In some embodiments, an aircraft&#39;s altitude may be used to adjust or otherwise set a velocity limit. In an exemplary embodiment, different altitudes of aircrafts may affect their velocity limit(s). In this example, a first, higher aircraft may be at a high (e.g., absolute) altitude whereas a second, lower aircraft may be at a low (e.g., absolute) altitude. In this example, and without limitation, first aircraft may be at a high (absolute) altitude, for example, and without limitation, on the order of 3 meters or higher. Second aircraft may be at a low (e.g., absolute) altitude, for example, and without limitation, at or below the threshold of 1 meter. If something happened to higher first aircraft (e.g., a propulsor or rotor malfunctions or goes out), the higher aircraft would have more time to slow down (e.g., using a parachute and/or by spinning up the working propulsors or rotors) before hitting the water compared to the lower second aircraft. Stated differently, if both higher first aircraft and lower second aircraft were traveling at the same forward velocity and hit the water due to a propulsor or rotor failure (as an example), the lower aircraft would be more likely to hit the water at a higher and more dangerous velocity compared to the higher aircraft. To prevent injury to pilot of lower second aircraft, as the aircraft approaches the surface of the water one or more velocity limits may generally be reduced. In some embodiments, velocity limits in multiple or all directions (e.g., vertically, laterally, forward, within a horizontal plane, etc.) may be reduced. This may ensure that even if a low-flying aircraft crashes, it is going slower so that there will be less damage. 
     Such a technique may also be used to slow an aircraft down at altitudes where there are more likely to be obstacles. For example, at 50 feet up, there may be no trees, power lines, or rooflines to worry about. However, at 10 feet up, pilot may have to maneuver around those obstacles and flying around those obstacles would be easier and safer if aircraft had a lower velocity limit. 
     Unlike some earlier velocity limit examples, the lowest velocity limit in this example may be set to a non-zero value. Reducing velocity limit(s) to zero at the lowest range of altitudes would prevent an aircraft from landing or more generally flying near to the ground or water which could be undesirable. In some embodiments, similar to the shoreline distance graphical example discussed above, there may be multiple step-downs or limit values applied. In some embodiments, the limit values may be gradually or otherwise continuously decreased. 
     In an exemplary embodiment, of how this may fit into method E, aircraft movement limit (see, e.g., step or first step of method E) may include a velocity limit and the value may be determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft (see step or first step of method E), which may include determining an altitude associated with aircraft (where the state information associated with aircraft includes the altitude). The value for velocity limit may be determined based at least in part on the altitude where a first, higher value may be determined for velocity limit based at least in part on a first, higher altitude (see, e.g., higher first aircraft above) and a second, lower value may be determined for velocity limit based at least in part on a second, lower altitude (see, e.g., lower second aircraft above). 
     In some embodiments, an aircraft&#39;s velocity may be used to select a value for an attitude limit. In an exemplary embodiment, attitude limit may be adjusted based on an aircraft&#39;s velocity. In such an example, propulsors or rotors of aircraft can break if too much stress is applied to them. To prevent propulsors or rotors from snapping or otherwise breaking, aircraft&#39;s attitude limit may be set or otherwise adjusted based on the velocity of the aircraft. In this example, a first aircraft may be flying at a relatively slow velocity. At this velocity, propulsors or rotors of first aircraft may be better able to withstand the stress due to flying at this velocity and at larger attitudes (for example, and without limitation, in a nose-down position). As such, the value for the attitude limit (a type of aircraft movement limit, among others) may be set to some larger, more permissive value. A second aircraft may be flying at a faster velocity and may therefore be less able to withstand the same, steeper attitude as that for first aircraft. As such, because of its faster velocity, a lower value may be selected for second aircraft&#39;s attitude limit. Generally speaking, as the velocity of an aircraft increases, the value selected for an attitude limit may be reduced. For completeness, it should be noted that exemplary aircraft of such an example may be capable of flying in a nose-up position and an attitude limit may relate to a limit on a nose-up position and/or a nose-down position. In some embodiments, there may be two independent and/or different attitude limits: one for the nose-up limit and one for the nose-down limit. In some embodiments, the technique described herein may be used to select a value for a nose-up limit. In other embodiments, a value for a nose-down limit may be selected with efficacy, as needed or desired. 
     In an exemplary embodiment, of how this may fit into method E, aircraft movement limit (e.g., referred to in a step or first step of method E) may include an attitude limit and the value may be determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft (see, e.g., a step or first step of method E), which may include determining a velocity associated with aircraft (where the state information associated with aircraft includes the velocity). The value for the attitude limit may be determined based at least in part on the velocity wherein a first, lower value is determined for the attitude limit based at least in part on a first, higher velocity (see, e.g., second lower aircraft above) and a second, higher value may be determined for the attitude limit based at least in part on a second, lower velocity (see, e.g., first higher aircraft above). 
     In some embodiments, state information may be used to select a value for aircraft movement limit and may be associated with an electrical and/or non-physical state. For example, state information may associated with motor commands and/or thrust signals. In an exemplary embodiment, a pilot-induced oscillation in motor command and/or thrust may be corrected by a velocity limit. In such an example, a desired motor command or thrust signal and an actual motor command or thrust signal may have some offset (e.g. phase lag or lead) as a function of time. An inexperienced pilot may sometimes overcorrect which may introduce or otherwise causes an oscillation. The two signals (desired and actual) may gradually diverge over time (due to the pilot&#39;s actions) and begin to oscillate. These oscillations may grow larger and the phase difference between the two signals may eventually approaches a 180° phase difference. 
     To address this, in some embodiments, when the system (e.g. controller such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A ) detects that the phase difference or lag between a desired (e.g., motor command and/or thrust) signal and an actual (e.g., motor command and/or thrust) exceeds some phase difference threshold, one or more velocity limits may be reduced. This may have the effect of dampening or otherwise reducing the input from pilot (e.g., via joystick, other input device, or the like) so that the pilot cannot continue to introduce a pilot-induced oscillation. System, without the overcorrection from the pilot, would eventually be able to correct itself and the two signals should begin to converge again (e.g., characterized by a reduced phase lag). In some embodiments, once the phase lag goes down to some sufficient degree or amount, velocity limits may be returned to their previous values. 
     In an exemplary embodiment, of how this may fit into method E, aircraft movement limit (e.g., referred to in a step or first step of method E) may include a velocity limit and the value may be determined based at least in part on state information associated with aircraft (see, e.g., step or first step of method E), which may include determining a phase difference between a desired motor command signal and an actual motor command signal where the state information associated with the aircraft includes the phase difference. The value for velocity limit may be determined based at least in part on the phase difference where a first, lower value may be determined for the velocity limit based at least in part on a first, higher phase difference (e.g., when the phase difference gets relatively close to 180°, the velocity limit is reduced) and a second, higher value is determined for the velocity limit based at least in part on a second, lower phase difference (e.g., when the phase difference goes back to normal or a nominal value closer to 0°, the velocity limit is increased). 
     In some embodiments, a (e.g., training) flight or session may be evaluated (e.g., using some analysis process) to determine whether to increase a constraint or limit (e.g., associated with position (including altitude), velocity, etc., among others) or keep it the same. For example, and without limitation, if a pilot demonstrated safe or good pilot behavior, a constraint or limit may be increased. Otherwise, a constraint or limit may remain unchanged. Method G represents an exemplary process which may be used to determine a value for aircraft movement limit by analyzed recorded flight information. In some embodiments, the process of method G may be performed by a central server, controller, or the like, managed by an aircraft manufacturer. In the context of method A, the value for aircraft movement limit received at a step or first step of method A may be selected or otherwise determined using the process of method G. One benefit, without limitation, to this technique may be that aircraft movement limits can be managed centrally and/or consistently (e.g., instead of having one (e.g., human) tester with stricter standards at one location and another (e.g., human) tester with looser standards at another location). Also, this technique may permit pilots to learn how to fly the aircraft and be assessed even if they are located in remote locations far from service and/or sales locations. In some embodiments, the process of method G may be performed by a controller such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A . 
     At a step or first step of method G, recorded flight information, including an identifier associated with pilot, is received. For example, and without limitation, recorded flight information may include position information, velocity information, and acceleration information from when an aircraft is turned on until the aircraft is turned off. In various embodiments, recorded flight information may be exchanged via a variety of intermediary devices. In one example, there may be an application running on a smartphone which may communicate with aircraft and store recorded flight information. Recorded flight information may then be sent from the application/smartphone to a central server (e.g., when the app/smartphone has access to a WiFi connection and/or is charging). In another example, recorded flight information may be sent to central server via a base station (such as those disclosed herein including above). In some embodiments, recorded flight information may be communicated via, for example and without limitation, a satellite, a mobile network, radio, and the like, among others. Controller, such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A , and/or other computing device may be used to facilitate communication of recorded flight information, as needed or desired. 
     At another or next step of method G, recorded flight information may be analyzed. In various embodiments, the analysis tries to find or otherwise identify good or bad flying in recorded flight information. For example, a sudden acceleration or deceleration may be indicative of someone who is reckless and/or cannot adequately control aircraft. Alternatively, smooth accelerations and decelerations may be indicative of a safe pilot. Analysis may be done in any number of ways. In some embodiments, a machine learning process, model, algorithm and/or model may be utilized to conduct analysis. Any of the machine learning embodiments as disclosed herein may be used for this purpose, as needed or desired. 
     Some other examples may include looking for pilot-induced oscillation by comparing a phase difference between an actual motor command and/or thrust signal and a desired motor command and/or thrust signal (as discussed above). Pilot-induced oscillation may be indicative of poor flying. And the number of pilot-induced oscillations in recorded flight information may be used to classify a pilot as a good (and/or safe) pilot versus a bad (and/or unsafe) pilot. 
     In some embodiments, recorded flight information may be analyzed to identify a number of times a pilot tried to cross some boundary or otherwise enter a prohibited (air)space where aircraft automatically prevents the pilot from entering (e.g., a geofence). This number of attempted incursions may be used to classify pilot. In some embodiments, aircraft may not be prohibited from flying in a particular airspace (e.g., there is no geofence to keep the aircraft out) but flying in that space may be undesirable and/or unsafe. For example, although not prohibited from flying over land, it may be preferable or desirable that aircraft stay over water since this may be safer in the event of a crash. In some embodiments, the number of times or time spent over land, or a particular terrain, may be assessed. Some standards for ultralight aircraft may prohibit such aircraft from flying at night, as well as over inhabited areas and recorded flight information may be analyzed for this type of behavior. 
     In some embodiments, aircraft may issue a warning but may not automatically prevent pilot from flying in a particular manner. For example, warning may relate to flying too low or high, flying too fast, etc. In some embodiments, if flight behavior (e.g., once a warning is issued) does not change within a certain amount of time, pilot may be assumed or otherwise determined to be ignoring the warning and the analysis of recorded flight information may count the number of ignored warnings in order to classify pilot. 
     At another or next step of method G, value for aircraft movement limit may be determined based at least in part on the analysis of recorded flight information. For example, if bad flying behavior is detected, the same or a more restrictive value for aircraft movement limit may be selected or otherwise determined (e.g., keep altitude limits, velocity limits, and/or distance from shoreline limits the same or reduce). Alternatively, if good flying behavior is detected, then more permissive values may be selected or otherwise determined (e.g., increase altitude limits, velocity limits, and/or distance from shoreline limits). 
     At another or next step of method G, the value for aircraft movement may be sent to aircraft using the identifier associated with pilot. For example, aircraft, as part of the starting up may identify pilot and retrieve the appropriate aircraft movement limits for that pilot. A variety of methods may be used to perform this step of method G. For example, all values for all pilots could be pushed out and aircraft selects the appropriate values based on the pilot&#39;s identifier. Or, a pull technique could be used where aircraft uploads pilot&#39;s identifier to central server, controller, computing device, or the like, and the appropriate value(s) for that pilot is/are downloaded in response. As before, this information may be exchanged via an application (app) running on a smartphone, a base station or a controller (e.g. flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A ). 
     In some embodiments, multiple pilots have access to a given flyer or aircraft. A variety of techniques may be used to uniquely identify a pilot (e.g., biometrics, a code/password, a fob or other near-field identifier, an app running on a smartphone, etc.). In some embodiments, a startup sequence may include identifying the pilot and loading those pilot&#39;s limits or constraints into system, controller such as flight controller  124  of  FIG.  2 A , computing device, or the like. In various embodiments, limits or other settings associated with a pilot may be stored locally and/or remotely/centrally, as needed or desired. For example, aircraft may store a limited number of settings (including limits) locally on the aircraft. If it cannot locate a pilot&#39;s settings there, it may go to some server, controller, computing device, or the like (e.g., at base station or via the base station). If a pilot&#39;s settings cannot be located (e.g., a new pilot), then some default settings and/or limits may be loaded. 
     Such a process may be useful because aircraft can start out in a “safe mode” for novice users and gradually open up the configurations or modes (e.g., permit faster flight, higher flight, etc.) even in remote locations where there may be no instructor or evaluator present to evaluate the quality of pilot&#39;s flying in person. Analyzing recorded flight information may also apply a uniform standard across all pilots whereas human assessment can be inconsistent between one person and another (e.g., one instructor or evaluator may be more lenient and/or have lower standards about flying than another instructor or evaluator). 
     Now referring to  FIG.  3   , an exemplary embodiment  300  of a flight controller  304  is illustrated.

Flight controller  304  may receive autonomous training data by receiving correlations of flight element, pilot signal, and/or simulation data to an autonomous function that were previously received and/or determined during a previous iteration of generation of autonomous function. Autonomous training data may be received by one or more remote devices and/or FPGAs that at least correlate a flight element, pilot signal, and/or simulation data to an autonomous function.

The weighted sum may then be input into a function φ, which may generate one or more outputs y. Weight w i  applied to an input x i  may indicate whether the input is “excitatory,” indicating that it has strong influence on the one or more outputs y, for instance by the corresponding weight having a large numerical value, and/or a “inhibitory,” indicating it has a weak effect influence on the one more inputs y, for instance by the corresponding weight having a small numerical value. The values of weights w i  may be determined by training a neural network using training data, which may be performed using any suitable process as described above.

Machine-learning module may perform determinations, classification, and/or analysis steps, methods, processes, or the like as described in this disclosure using machine learning processes. A “machine-learning process,” as used in this disclosure, is a process that automatedly uses training data  404  to generate an algorithm that will be performed by a computing device/module to produce outputs  408  given data provided as inputs  412 ; this is in contrast to a non-machine learning software program where the commands to be executed are determined in advance by a user and written in a programming language. Any of the machine-learning embodiments as disclosed herein, including machine-learning embodiments described with reference to  FIG.  4   , may efficaciously be used in conjunction with any of the embodiments as disclosed herein, including embodiments of systems and methods for controlling flight boundary of an aircraft (e.g. system  100  of  FIG.  2 A ) and embodiments of controllers (e.g. flight controller  124  of  FIG.  1    and  FIG.  2 A  and flight controller  304  of  FIG.  3   ). 
     Still referring to  FIG.  4   , “training data,” as used herein, is data containing correlations that a machine-learning process may use to model relationships between two or more categories of data elements. For instance, and without limitation, training data  404  may include a plurality of data entries, each entry representing a set of data elements that were recorded, received, and/or generated together; data elements may be correlated by shared existence in a given data entry, by proximity in a given data entry, or the like. Multiple data entries in training data  404  may evince one or more trends in correlations between categories of data elements; for instance, and without limitation, a higher value of a first data element belonging to a first category of data element may tend to correlate to a higher value of a second data element belonging to a second category of data element, indicating a possible proportional or other mathematical relationship linking values belonging to the two categories. Multiple categories of data elements may be related in training data  404  according to various correlations; correlations may indicate causative and/or predictive links between categories of data elements, which may be modeled as relationships such as mathematical relationships by machine-learning processes as described in further detail below. Training data  404  may be formatted and/or organized by categories of data elements, for instance by associating data elements with one or more descriptors corresponding to categories of data elements. As a non-limiting example, training data  404  may include data entered in standardized forms by persons or processes, such that entry of a given data element in a given field in a form may be mapped to one or more descriptors of categories. Elements in training data  404  may be linked to descriptors of categories by tags, tokens, or other data elements; for instance, and without limitation, training data  404  may be provided in fixed-length formats, formats linking positions of data to categories such as comma-separated value (CSV) formats and/or self-describing formats such as extensible markup language (XML), JavaScript Object Notation (JSON), or the like, enabling processes or devices to detect categories of data.

Machine-learning algorithms and/or other processes may sort training data  404  according to one or more categorizations using, for instance, natural language processing algorithms, tokenization, detection of correlated values in raw data and the like; categories may be generated using correlation and/or other processing algorithms. As a non-limiting example, in a corpus of text, phrases making up a number “n” of compound words, such as nouns modified by other nouns, may be identified according to a statistically significant prevalence of n-grams containing such words in a particular order; such an n-gram may be categorized as an element of language such as a “word” to be tracked similarly to single words, generating a new category as a result of statistical analysis. Similarly, in a data entry including some textual data, a person&#39;s name may be identified by reference to a list, dictionary, or other compendium of terms, permitting ad-hoc categorization by machine-learning algorithms, and/or automated association of data in the data entry with descriptors or into a given format. The ability to categorize data entries automatedly may enable the same training data  404  to be made applicable for two or more distinct machine-learning algorithms as described in further detail below. Training data  404  used by machine-learning module  400  may correlate any input data as described in this disclosure to any output data as described in this disclosure. As a non-limiting illustrative example flight elements and/or pilot signals may be inputs, wherein an output may be an autonomous function.

     Still referring to  FIG.  4   , machine-learning module  400  may be configured to perform a lazy-learning process  420  and/or protocol, which may alternatively be referred to as a “lazy loading” or “call-when-needed” process and/or protocol, may be a process whereby machine learning is conducted upon receipt of an input to be converted to an output, by combining the input and training set to derive the algorithm to be used to produce the output on demand. For instance, an initial set of simulations may be performed to cover an initial heuristic and/or “first guess” at an output and/or relationship. As a non-limiting example, an initial heuristic may include a ranking of associations between inputs and elements of training data  404 . Heuristic may include selecting some number of highest-ranking associations and/or training data  404  elements.

A “machine-learning model,” as used in this disclosure, is a mathematical and/or algorithmic representation of a relationship between inputs and outputs, as generated using any machine-learning process including without limitation any process as described above, and stored in memory; an input is submitted to a machine-learning model  424  once created, which generates an output based on the relationship that was derived. For instance, and without limitation, a linear regression model, generated using a linear regression algorithm, may compute a linear combination of input data using coefficients derived during machine-learning processes to calculate an output datum. As a further non-limiting example, a machine-learning model  424  may be generated by creating an artificial neural network, such as a convolutional neural network comprising an input layer of nodes, one or more intermediate layers, and an output layer of nodes. Connections between nodes may be created via the process of “training” the network, in which elements from a training data  404  set are applied to the input nodes, a suitable training algorithm (such as Levenberg-Marquardt, conjugate gradient, simulated annealing, or other algorithms) is then used to adjust the connections and weights between nodes in adjacent layers of the neural network to produce the desired values at the output nodes. This process is sometimes referred to as deep learning.

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 .
