Claim 10:
11. A method for fault detection and control in an electric aircraft, the method comprising:
detecting, at an at least a sensor, a sensed datum associated with at least a flight component, wherein the at least a flight component comprises a plurality of propulsors configured to propel the electric aircraft in a fluid medium;
determining, at a flight controller, as a function of the sensed datum, a failure state of a first plurality of propulsor of the plurality of propulsors;
generating, at a mixer that is configured to switch from a first mode in which the mixer is configured to control the plurality of propulsors with a first control allocation to a second mode in which the mixer is configured to control a second plurality of propulsor of the plurality propulsors with a second control allocation, as a function of the failure state, a torque priority command datum; and
transmitting, to the second plurality of propulsors, the torque priority command datum configured to alter a trajectory of the electric aircraft by a change in pitch and yaw utilizing the second plurality of propulsors of the plurality of propulsors; and
wherein the second control allocation has less attitude control in at least one axis than the first control allocation.
