Abstract:
A motorized aircraft is controlled by a drive control means that rotationally drives a propulsion system propeller. The propulsion system propeller is driven by a plurality of electric motors. A comparison detection unit compares estimated propeller torque and estimated motor torque with each other and detects an abnormal state of an electric motor on the basis of the fact that a difference between the propeller torque and a multiple of the motor torque is above a predetermined value.
