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 is powered by an electrical energy source of a plurality of electrical energy sources. The method includes measuring an electrical parameter of each energy source, calculating a power-production capability of each energy source as a function of the electrical parameter. The method includes identifying at least a compromised energy source of the plurality of energy sources, notifying, by a notification unit, a user of the at least a compromised energy source, and adjusting, as a function of the user notification, 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.
