An aircraft includes a first battery, provisions for transport that are powered by a second battery, and a management system for transferring energy between the first battery and the second battery.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An aircraft comprising: a first battery, a propulsion system of the aircraft that is powered by the first battery; at least one means of transport in the form of a secondary aircraft that is stored within the aircraft, the secondary aircraft having a second battery; and a management system for transferring energy to the first battery of the aircraft and the second battery of the secondary aircraft, wherein, on the way to a predefined destination, the management system is configured to transfer a proportion of the energy to the first battery and the second battery as a function of a remaining distance to the predefined destination for the aircraft and the secondary aircraft, respectively. 2. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising an electrical or electronic connection between the first battery and the second battery. 3. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft has a fully electric drive. 4. The aircraft as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the aircraft comprises a fast-charging battery system. 5.
