A method of altering propulsor output when powering an electronic aircraft includes calculating a power demand of each propulsor of the plurality of propulsors for at least a future phase of flight, wherein each propulsor of the plurality of propulsors is powered by an electrical energy source of a plurality of electrical energy sources. The method includes measuring at least an electrical parameter each energy source of the plurality of energy sources, calculating a power-production capability of each energy source of the plurality of energy sources as a function of the at least an electrical parameter. The method further includes identifying at least a compromised energy source of the plurality of energy sources, and adjusting the power output from the plurality of energy sources to the plurality of propulsors for a current phase of flight as a function of the power-production capability and the power demand.
