1. A method of controlling an aircraft, comprising:
receiving, during flight, first sensor data indicating at least one attribute of high voltage wiring of the aircraft;
receiving, during flight, a state of operation of the aircraft;
determining, during flight, a proximity of a temperature of the high voltage wiring to a temperature limit based on the first sensor data and the state of operation of the aircraft; and
controlling at least one electric propulsion unit of the aircraft to avoid exceeding the temperature limit based on the determined proximity.
