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, an aircraft is disclosed, comprising: at least one electric propulsion unit; at least one sensor configured to measure at least one aircraft condition; and at least one flight control computer configured to dynamically vary at least one torque command to the at least one electric propulsion unit based at least on the at least one aircraft condition; wherein the at least one electric propulsion unit is configured to generate thrust based on the at least one dynamically varied torque command.
