Abstract

A system for in-flight stabilization including a plurality of flight components mechanically coupled to an aircraft, wherein the plurality of flight components includes a first flight component and a second flight component opposing the first flight component. The system further comprises a sensor mechanically coupled to the aircraft, wherein the sensor is configured to detect a failure event of a first flight component. The system comprises a vehicle controller communicatively connected to the sensor and is configured to receive the failure datum of the first flight component from the sensor, generate a failure notification configured to indicate that the vehicle controller received the failure datum from the sensor, and initiate an automatic response as a function of the failure datum. Initiating the automatic response further includes determining an autorotation inducement action for the second flight component to perform and commanding the second flight component to perform the autorotation inducement action.
