1. An aircraft system comprising:
a first set of components configured to actuate a device to perform a function of the aircraft system,
a second set of components, alternative to the first set, configured to actuate the device to perform the function of the aircraft system, and
a controller comprising a machine learning model, the controller configured to:
receive scenario data indicative of a scenario during which the function of the aircraft system is to be performed, wherein the scenario is indicative of a condition of at least one of: the first or second sets of components; an aircraft which includes the aircraft system; or an environment in which the aircraft operates while the function of the aircraft system is performed;
where each of the first set of components and the second set of components are operational, select, using the machine learning model, between the first set of components or the second set of components to actuate the device to perform the aircraft system function during the scenario based on the received scenario data; and
control the selected first or second set of components to actuate the device to perform the function during the scenario.
