In accordance with at least one aspect of this disclosure, an electric aircraft can include an electrical accumulator, an electric propulsion system operatively connected to the electrical accumulator and configured to convert electrical energy into propulsive force, and a ram air turbine (RAT) operatively connected to the electrical accumulator to store energy. The RAT can be selectively deployable between a stowed position wherein the RAT is not exposed to ram air and a deployed position wherein the RAT is exposed to ram air to store energy in the electrical accumulator.
