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 preventing the flying apparatus from flying in a state where the weight of a transported body is excessive. A flying apparatus 10 comprises: an airframe base unit 16; a rotor 11; a motor 12; a calculation control unit 15; and a weight detecting unit 17. The rotor 11 rotates to generate thrust for causing the airframe base unit 16 to float. The motor 12 rotationally drives the rotor 11. The weight detecting unit 17 detects a weight value of a transported body 18. If the weight value detected by the weight detecting unit 17 exceeds a threshold weight value, the calculation control unit 15 does not permit takeoff.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
