1. An apparatus for swarm communication for an electric aircraft fleet, the system comprising:
a computing device communicatively connected to a mesh network configured to connect a plurality of electric aircraft to each other, wherein the computing device comprises:
an authentication module, wherein the authentication module is configured to authenticate each electric aircraft;
at least a node, wherein the at least a node comprises at least a communication component, wherein the at least a communication component is configured to:
receive a plurality of aircraft data, wherein aircraft data comprises component state data; and
facilitate communication between the plurality of electric aircraft as a function of the communication satisfying a communication threshold, wherein the communication threshold comprises an error rate; and
a cloud database, wherein the cloud database is configured to record the plurality of aircraft data.
