Flight control method and apparatus

An apparatus, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory configured to store instructions executable by the processor,
• wherein the processor is configured to:
• determine a positional relationship between an aircraft and a control device;
• determine a polar coordinate system with the control device as an origin according to the positional relationship;
• receive a flight direction control instruction sent by the control device, the flight direction control instruction being generated on the basis of the polar coordinate system;
• and
• drive, according to coordinate information about the aircraft in the polar coordinate system, the aircraft to fly in accordance with the flight direction control instruction.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform a flight control method, the method comprising:

• determining a positional relationship between an aircraft and a control device;
• determining a polar coordinate system with the control device as an origin according to the positional relationship;
• receiving a flight direction control instruction sent by the control device, the flight direction control instruction being generated on the basis of the polar coordinate system;
• and
• driving, according to coordinate information about the aircraft in the polar coordinate system, the aircraft to fly in accordance with the flight direction control instruction.
