1. A system for flight control for managing actuators for an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
a controller, wherein the controller is designed and configured to:
receive a sensor datum from at least a sensor;
identify a defunct actuator of the electric aircraft as a function of the sensor datum, wherein the sensor datum comprises an input datum corresponding to a manipulation of a pilot input control and a flight datum comprising an aircraft angle;
generate an actuator allocation command datum as a function of the defunct actuator; and
perform a torque allocation as a function of the actuator allocation command datum.
