Abstract
Disclosed embodiments generally relate to systems and methods for flight control of aircrafts. In some embodiments, a flight control system is configured to determine desired commands for the electric aircraft, determine at least one reference command for an effector based on the desired commands and one or more aircraft conditions, monitor energy states of the plurality of battery packs, where at least a first battery pack of the plurality of battery packs is electrically isolated from at least a second battery pack of the plurality of battery packs, adjust the at least one reference command based on the monitored energy states of the plurality of battery packs, generate control commands for the plurality of effectors based on the adjusted at least one effector reference command, and control the plurality of effectors according to the generated control commands to meet the one or more desired commands of the electric aircraft.
