Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for flight control of aircrafts driven by electric propulsion systems and in other types of vehicles. In some embodiments, a flight control system of an aircraft is disclosed, configured to receive one or more signals to control movement of the aircraft, determine at least one flight condition of the aircraft, wherein the at least one flight condition includes at least a phase of flight, calculate at least one or more loads associated with the aircraft based on the determined at least one flight condition; determine an optimized flight configuration to alleviate loads on one or more components of the aircraft based on the received one or more signals and the calculated loads, generate one or more effector commands based on the optimized flight configuration; and actuate one or more aircraft effectors based on the one or more effector commands.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to flight control of electric aircraft and other powered aerial vehicles. In one embodiment, an electrical system for an aircraft is disclosed, comprising: at least one processor configured to: receive pilot input indicating a commanded aircraft state, determine an aircraft thrust for achieving the commanded aircraft state, retrieve at least one propeller parameter associated with propeller speeds, wherein the propeller parameter is determined to reduce a structural vibratory response in the aircraft. The at least one processor is further configured to determine a respective command for each propeller of the aircraft to achieve the determined aircraft thrust based on the at least one propeller parameter and control each propeller of the aircraft based on the corresponding respective command.
