Flight control device and non-transitory computer readable medium storing flight control program

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a flight control program for controlling a subject aircraft which is a flight vehicle and an electric aircraft having an occupant compartment, the program comprising instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out:

• acquiring subject aircraft information as information on the subject aircraft;
• acquiring counterpart aircraft information as information on a counterpart aircraft that is a flight vehicle different from the subject aircraft;
• setting, according to the subject aircraft information and the counterpart aircraft information, a priority relationship indicating 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;
• setting an avoidance priority for the subject aircraft according to the subject aircraft information, the avoidance priority indicating a degree of priority assigned to a flight vehicle in performing the collision avoidance flight;
• and
• setting the avoidance priority for the counterpart aircraft according to the counterpart aircraft information, wherein
• the setting of the avoidance priority for the subject aircraft includes setting the avoidance priority for the subject aircraft to be lower in a case where an occupant is present in the occupant compartment of the subject aircraft than in a case where no occupant is present in the subject aircraft,
• the setting of the avoidance priority for the counterpart aircraft includes setting the avoidance priority for the counterpart aircraft to be lower in a case where the counterpart aircraft is a manned aircraft than in a case where the counterpart aircraft an unmanned aircraft in which no occupant is present, and
• the setting of the priority relationship includes setting the priority relationship according to the avoidance priority of the subject aircraft and the avoidance priority of the counterpart aircraft.

A flight control device configured to be mounted on a subject aircraft, which is a flight vehicle and an electric aircraft having an occupant compartment, and configured to control the subject aircraft, the flight control device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory that stores a program, wherein the at least one memory and the program are configured, with the at least one processor, to cause the flight control device to carry out:
• acquiring subject aircraft information as information on the subject aircraft;
• acquiring counterpart aircraft information as information on a counterpart aircraft that is a flight vehicle different from the subject aircraft;
• setting, according to the subject aircraft information and the counterpart aircraft information, a priority relationship indicating 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;
• setting an avoidance priority for the subject aircraft according to the subject aircraft information, the avoidance priority indicating a degree of priority assigned to a flight vehicle in performing the collision avoidance flight;
• and
• setting the avoidance priority for the counterpart aircraft according to the counterpart aircraft information, wherein
• the setting of the avoidance priority for the subject aircraft includes setting the avoidance priority for the subject aircraft to be lower in a case where an occupant is present in the occupant compartment of the subject aircraft than in a case where no occupant is present in the subject aircraft,
• the setting of the avoidance priority for the counterpart aircraft includes setting the avoidance priority for the counterpart aircraft to be lower in a case where the counterpart aircraft is a manned aircraft than in a case where the counterpart aircraft an unmanned aircraft in which no occupant is present, and
• the setting of the priority relationship includes setting the priority relationship according to the avoidance priority of the subject aircraft and the avoidance priority of the counterpart aircraft.
