  • Publication number: 20240126305
    Abstract: The present application relates to a control method of an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle may comprise a propulsion structure for providing flight power and a spraying apparatus for spraying a material. The control method may comprise determining current target information of the aerial vehicle during a process of the aerial vehicle performing a spraying task, wherein the current target information indicates wind field strength of a downward pressure wind field generated by the propulsion structure; determining, based on the current target information, a desired relative flight altitude of the aerial vehicle corresponding to the current target information relative to the material being sprayed below the aerial vehicle; and controlling the aerial vehicle to fly toward the desired relative flight altitude.
