A method and a system are provided for controlling an aircraft in the form of a multicopter which has a plurality of redundant rotors (4), preferably arranged in a common rotor plane, in order, on the one hand, to generate lift, and, on the other hand, also propulsion by inclining the at least one rotor plane, wherein the regulation of the position and the control of the multicopter are carried out by changing rotor rotational speeds as a function of pilot control instructions. The system is characterized in that the rotors (4) are connected to one another in terms of data technology via a failsafe network (8), and they communicate their respective operating state, in particular their rotor rotational speed, in the network (8), and in that the network contains a first multiplicity of redundant sensors which determine control-relevant data and make it available in the network, in particular inclination, acceleration, rotational speed and/or position in all three spatial axes of the multicopter.
