Title:
A SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FLIGHT CONTROL OF AN ELECTRIC VERTICAL TAKEOFF AND LANDING AIRCRAFT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/003681
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A system for flight control of an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. The system generally includes a pilot control, a pusher component, a lift component and a flight controller. The pilot control is mechanically coupled to the eVTOL aircraft. The pilot control is configured to transmit an input datum. The pusher component is mechanically coupled to the eVTOL aircraft. The lift component is mechanically coupled to the eVTOL aircraft. The flight controller is communicatively connected to the pilot control. The flight controller is configured to receive the input datum from the pilot control, initiate operation of the pusher component, and terminate operation of the lift component. A method for flight control of an eVTOL aircraft is also provided.
