Systems and methods for determining and/or controlling motor thrust and engine thrust in a parallel hybrid aircraft

A system for determining and/or controlling motor thrust and engine thrust in a parallel hybrid aircraft, the system comprising:

• one or more sensors configured to monitor one or more flight parameters to generate sensor information;
• one or more hardware processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
• receive user input, the user input including one or more pilot estimates;
• obtain the sensor information;
• calculate a performance thrust ratio based on the user input, the sensor information, an aerodynamic model, a propeller model, and a battery model, wherein the performance thrust ratio is used to control the motor thrust and engine thrust to improve utilization of electric energy throughout a flight;
• determine a first thrust setting for the motor and a second thrust setting for the engine based on the performance thrust ratio.
