20 Claims

1. A system for fly-by-wire flight control configured for use in an electric aircraft, the system comprising:

a flight controller, wherein the flight controller is configured to perform a voting algorithm, and wherein performing the voting algorithm further comprises:

receiving at least a command datum from at least a sensor;

determining that the at least a command datum is an active datum;

determining the at least a command datum is an admissible datum; and

generating, as a function of the at least a command datum, the active datum, and the admissible datum, a control surface datum; and

an actuator, wherein the actuator is configured to:

receive the control surface datum from the flight controller; and

move, as a function of the control surface datum, the control surface.
