    Abstract: A flight control device performs a flight control process for causing an eVTOL to fly. In a step of the flight control process, the flight control device determines whether the eVTOL is capable of maintaining a stable attitude. In the step, it is determined whether the eVTOL is capable of maintaining the stable attitude even if driving of an abnormal motor is stopped. In the step, it is determined whether the eVTOL is capable of maintaining the stable attitude even if the abnormal motor continues driving. When it is determined that the eVTOL is capable of maintaining the stable attitude, the flight control device performs output adjustment of at least one of a normal motor and the abnormal motor to maintain the eVTOL at the stable attitude.

    Abstract: In a control device including a control unit that controls an EPU for powering a rotor included in an electric aircraft, the EPU includes a motor, an inverter, a control circuit, and a first sensor that detects an operation-related value. If there is no a sudden change in the operation-related value detected by the first sensor, the control unit controls the EPU based on the operation-related value detected by the first sensor. When the sudden change occurs, the control unit stops using the operation-related value detected by the first sensor to control the EPU. After the occurrence of the sudden change, when the sudden change ends before a predetermined period elapses, the control unit resumes using the operation-related value detected by the first sensor to control the EPU, and when the sudden change has not ended, the control unit continues the stoppage.

    Abstract: A control device is configured to control an electric flight vehicle. The electric flight vehicle includes an electric drive device configured to drive and rotate a rotor blade and a cooling unit configured to cool the drive device. The control device includes a temperature acquisition unit and a cooling determination unit. The temperature acquisition unit is configured to acquire temperature of the drive device as a device temperature. The cooling determination unit is configured to determine, according to the device temperature, whether a cooling-related abnormality has occurred as an abnormality related to cooling of the drive device by the cooling unit.

    Abstract: An EPU includes a first DS and a second DS. The first DS includes a first motor and a first inverter control unit. The second DS includes a second motor and a second inverter control unit. The first motor and the second motor are connected to a propeller via an EPU shaft. The EPU shaft drives and rotates a propeller according to outputs of the motor. The first inverter control unit controls the first motor so that the output of the first motor and the output of the second motor become a same. The second inverter control unit controls the second motor so that the output of the first motor and the output of the second motor become same as each other.

    Abstract: A technique controls a subject aircraft which is a flight vehicle. In the technique, subject aircraft information is acquired as information on the subject aircraft, and counterpart aircraft information is acquired as information on a counterpart aircraft that is a flight vehicle different from the subject aircraft. A priority relationship is set according to the subject aircraft information and the counterpart aircraft information. The priority relationship indicates which of the subject aircraft and the counterpart aircraft has higher priority in performing collision avoidance flight that is flight for avoiding a collision between the subject aircraft and the counterpart aircraft.
