Claim 0:
1. A method for adjusting power distribution to a plurality of motors of a rotorcraft, comprising:
receiving, at a flight computer, feedback from a plurality of sensors associated with the plurality of motors;
determining, at the flight computer, that a first motor in the plurality of motors is malfunctioning;
selecting, at the flight computer based on the feedback, one or more second motors in the plurality of motors for redistributing power;
reducing a power supplied to the first motor;
increasing a power supplied to the one or more second motors selected for redistributing power and dynamically adjusting a power distribution to the one or more second motors taking into account a net torque on the rotorcraft due to said reducing the power supplied to the first motor; and
performing diagnostics on the first motor while the first motor is being supplied with the reduced power for determining whether the first motor continues to malfunction or no longer malfunctions after said reducing the power supplied to the first motor.
