Flying apparatus and method for controlling the same

Abstract

Provided is a flying apparatus and a method for controlling the same which are capable of precisely measuring a remaining charge of a battery with a simple configuration. A flying apparatus 10 comprises a rotor 11, a motor 12, a power converting unit 14, a battery 21, and a calculation control unit 15. The rotor 11 rotates to generate thrust for causing an airframe base unit 16 to float, and the motor 12 is supplied with an electric power from the battery 21 to rotationally drive the rotor 11. The calculation control unit 15 generates an instruction signal to bring the airframe base unit 16 into a certain positional posture. The power converting unit 14 adjusts an electric power to be supplied from the battery 21 to the motor 12 based on the instruction signal inputted. Further, the calculation control unit 15 estimates a remaining charge of the battery 21 based on the instruction signal.
