Control device for vertical takeoff and landing aircraft

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a control program for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that includes a plurality of rotary blades and a plurality of drive devices that drive and rotate the rotary blades,

• the control program, when executed by a processor, causing the processor to:
• stop an abnormal device, which is a drive device among the plurality of drive devices in which an abnormality has occurred;
• increase an output of at least one normal device, which is a drive device among the plurality of drive devices in which no abnormality has occurred, so as to correct an attitude change of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft due to the stop of the abnormal device;
• and
• not cause the increase in the output of the at least one normal device when the abnormality has occurred in the abnormal device and an altitude of the vertical takeoff and landing aircraft does not exceed a predetermined altitude.

A method of controlling a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that includes a plurality of rotary blades and a plurality of drive devices that drive and rotate the rotary blades, the method comprising:

• stopping an abnormal device, which is a drive device among the plurality of drive devices in which an abnormality has occurred;
