Electric flight integrates advanced software systems, IoT connectivity, and AI-driven controls, significantly expanding the attack surface for potential cyber threats. Unlike traditional aviation systems that relied heavily on isolated and protected networks, electric flight technologies are often more interconnected, utilizing cloud services, 5G networks, and edge computing for real-time data analysis and decision-making. This interconnectedness increases the risk of cyber intrusions that could disrupt not just individual flights but entire fleets of autonomous aircraft operating in urban environments.
