Aspects of this present disclosure relate to flight control of electric aircrafts and other vehicles. In one embodiment, an aircraft is disclosed comprising: a fuselage; two wings; a plurality of lift propellers, the lift propellers disposed aft of the wings during forward flight; plurality of tilt propellers that are tiltable between vertical lift and forward propulsion configurations, the tilt propellers disposed forward of the wings during forward flight; a plurality of tilt propellor actuators that tilt propellers between vertical lift and forward propulsion configurations, the tilt propellor actuators on opposite sides of the fuselage; and a plurality of electrical buses coupled to a flight control computer; wherein the flight control computer is configured to provide control signals for at least one of the lift propellers mounted to one of the wings and one of the tilt propellers mounted to the other wing via the same electrical bus.
