Abstract
A system and method for distributed flight control configured for use in an electric vehicle wherein the system includes a flight control assembly which further includes at least a sensor electronically connected to the flight control assembly. The sensor is configured to capture at least an input datum, and at least a performance datum. The system further includes a plurality of modular flight controllers communicatively coupled to at least an actuator of a plurality of actuators, wherein each modular flight controller of the plurality of modular flight controllers is configured to the multitude of data from at least a sensor, generate an attitude control datum, determine at least an actuator instruction datum, and perform a control allocation configured for the at least a actuator from the plurality of actuators to follow as a function of the flight control assembly.
