Abstract
A system for flight control of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft includes a flight simulator communicatively coupled to a VTOL aircraft, wherein the flight simulator is configured to generate a model for at least a flight component and a flight controller, wherein the flight controller is configured to receive the model for the at least a flight component, determine a command for the at least a flight component as a function of the model, and initiate the command for the at least a flight component.
Claims18
A system for flight control of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, wherein the system comprises:
- a flight simulator communicatively coupled to a VTOL aircraft, wherein the flight simulator is configured to:
- generate a model for at least a flight component;
- and
- a flight controller onboard the VTOL aircraft, wherein the flight controller is configured to:
- receive the model for the at least a flight component;
- determine a command for the at least a flight component as a function of the model, wherein determining the command further comprises:
- receiving, by the flight controller, command training data relating a plurality of commands to the model;
- training, by the flight controller, as a function of the command training data, a command machine-learning model;
- inputting, by the flight controller, the model into the trained command machine-learning model;
- and
- outputting, by the flight controller, as a function of the model and the trained command machine-learning model, the command;
- and
- initiate the command for the at least a flight component.
A method for flight control of a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft, the method comprising:
- generating, as a function of a flight simulator communicatively coupled to a VTOL aircraft, a model for at least a flight component;
- receiving, by a flight controller onboard the VTOL aircraft, the model for the at least a flight component;
- determining, by the flight controller, a command for the at least a flight component as a function of the model, wherein determining the command further comprises:
- receiving, by the flight controller, command training data relating a plurality of commands to the model;
- training, by the flight controller, as a function of the command training data, a command machine-learning model;
- inputting, by the flight controller, the model into the trained command machine-learning model;
- and
- outputting, by the flight controller, as a function of the model and the trained command machine-learning model, the command;
- and
- initiating, by the flight controller, the command for the at least a flight component.
