Systems and methods for flight control of aircraft

Aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for flight control of aircrafts driven by electric propulsion systems and in other types of vehicles. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method is disclosed, comprising: measuring one or more state variables of the aircraft; inputting the one or more measured state variables to a prioritization scheme configured to determine an optimized actuator setting; determining one or more actuator commands based at least in part on inputting the one or more measured state variables to the prioritization scheme; and automatically controlling at least one actuator of the aircraft based on the determined one or more actuator commands.
