Classification: CPC B  F | IPC B

Claim 10:
11. The system of claim 1, wherein the local controller is further configured to:
during a first time period, drive the nozzle actuator to locate the nozzle in a nominal orientation to output the second thrust approximately parallel to the first thrust generated by the rotor; and
during a second time period:
access a second target total thrust specifying a yaw thrust component;
drive the nozzle actuator to locate the nozzle in a yaw orientation according to the yaw thrust component;
drive the cooling fan to a second cooling fan speed based on the yaw orientation of the nozzle and the yaw thrust component;
calculate a second target rotor speed of the rotor based on the second target total thrust and the second thrust output from the nozzle parallel to the first thrust;
adjust the throttle setpoint of the internal-combustion engine according to the second target rotor speed; and
drive the primary electric motor to selectively output torque to the rotor and regeneratively brake the rotor according to the second target rotor speed.
