Abstract: A method of controlling an electric aircraft that has a plurality of actuators that includes a plurality of electric propulsion units includes: receiving force and moment commands for the electric aircraft; determining control commands for the plurality of actuators based on the desired force and moment commands by solving an optimization problem that comprises a noise minimization term for minimizing noise generated by the electric propulsion units; and controlling the plurality of actuators according to the determined control commands to meet the force and moment commands for the electric aircraft.

Abstract: Aspects of this present disclosure relate to systems and methods for dynamically moving graphical elements of a user interface of a flight control system. In one, a method is disclosed comprising: determining aircraft authority limits based on at least one state signal indicating an aircraft state, wherein the aircraft authority limits indicate an extent to which one or more control signals can command the aircraft; determining one or more proximities between the aircraft state and the determined aircraft authority limits; and automatically moving the graphical elements of the user interface to one or more positions on the user interface based on the determined one or more proximities.
