1. A system for an immediate shutdown of charging for an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a sensor communicatively connected to an electric vehicle charging connection between a charger and an electric aircraft, wherein the sensor is configured to:
identify an electric communication of the charging connection;
detect a charging characteristic of the electric communication; and
generate a charging datum based on the charging characteristic, wherein the charging datum includes a temperature of a flow of coolant passing through the charging connection; and
a control circuit included in the electric aircraft that is communicatively connected to the sensor, the control circuit configured to:
receive the charging datum from the sensor;
determine a disruption element as a function of the charging datum; and
disable the charging connection between the charger and the electric aircraft based on the disruption element, wherein disabling the charging connection includes terminating the electric communication of the charging connection and terminating the flow of coolant passing through the charging connection between the charger and the electric aircraft.
