Flight controller with generator control

A method, comprising:

• determining using an electronic speed control throttle input, an anticipated electrical power demand required to satisfy the electronic speed control throttle input;
• determining using a flight controller a throttle input for a generator in order to satisfy the anticipated electrical power demand;
• setting the generator to the determined throttle input, wherein the generator includes an engine;
• and
• providing via the flight controller a modified electronic speed control throttle signal that is at least in part delayed in an associated requested power change, wherein the delay in the associated requested power change is associated with a power output change delay of the generator in response to the setting of the generator to the determined throttle input, and the modified electronic speed control throttle signal is provided to control an electrical motor of an aircraft, and wherein the delay in the associated requested power change of the modified electronic speed control throttle signal prevents the electronic speed control throttle input from causing a power demand change to cross a level associated with an available amount of power.

A system, comprising:

• an electronic speed control throttle input from which an anticipated electrical power demand required to satisfy the electronic speed control throttle input is determined;
• a controller that determines a throttle input for a generator in order to satisfy the anticipated electrical power demand and sets the generator to the determined throttle input, wherein the generator includes an engine;
• and
• an electronic speed control throttle output providing a modified electronic speed control throttle signal that is at least in part delayed in an associated requested power change, wherein the delay in the associated requested power change is associated with a power output change delay of the generator in response to the setting of the generator to the determined throttle input, a rate of change of an electronic speed control throttle signal setting in the modified electronic speed control throttle signal has been limited by a maximum rate of change, and the modified electronic speed control throttle signal is provided to control an electrical motor of an aircraft, and wherein the delay in the associated requested power change of the modified electronic speed control throttle signal prevents the electronic speed control throttle input from causing a power demand change to cross a level associated with an available amount of power.
