Claim 0:
1. A system for fault detection and control in an electric aircraft, the system comprising:
at least a sensor, wherein the at least a sensor configured to detect 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; and
a flight controller, the flight controller configured to determine a failure state of a first plurality of propulsors of the plurality of propulsors as a function of the sensed datum, wherein the flight controller further comprises:
a mixer 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 propulsors of the plurality of propulsors with a second control allocation, wherein the mixer comprises a circuitry configured to:
generate, as a function of the failure state, a torque priority command datum;
transmit, 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 propulsors; and
wherein the second control allocation has less attitude control in at least one axis than the first control allocation.
