A system for cross-channel communication for effectors in an electric aircraft is presented. The system may include a flight component of an electric aircraft. The system may include a plurality of effectors, wherein the plurality of effectors may be configured to control the flight component. The system may include a plurality of flight controllers communicatively connected to the plurality of effectors, wherein the plurality of flight controllers may be configured to receive an input, generate a command as a function of the input and transmit the command to the plurality of effectors. The system may include a plurality of networks communicatively connected to the plurality of effectors and the plurality of flight controllers, wherein the plurality of networks may be configured to receive the command from the plurality of flight controllers and transmit the command to the plurality of effectors.

System of cross-channel communication for effectors in an electric aircraft

Disclosed herein is a system and method for effector reboot on an electric aircraft during flight. An effector controller may perform a power on built-in test on boot. An effector controller may selective perform an additional built-in test (ABIT) on boot based on instructions from a flight controller. The flight controller may use flags to indicate the necessity of an ABIT on boot. The effector controller may not perform an ABIT during flight. A backup controller may be used to send standard commands to an effector controller but may not sent an ABIT command.
