Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for flight control of aircraft driven by electric propulsion systems and other types of vehicles. In some embodiments, an aircraft flight control system is configured to receive one or more signals for controlling the motion of an aircraft, determine at least one flight condition of the aircraft including at least one flight phase, calculate at least one load associated with the aircraft based on the determined at least one flight condition, determine an optimized flight configuration to reduce the load on one or more components of the aircraft based on the received one or more signals and the calculated loads, generate one or more effector commands based on the optimized flight configuration, and activate one or more aircraft effectors based on the one or more effector commands.
