Abstract: In an aerial vehicle, a malfunction determiner determines whether there is a malfunction in one of thrusters of the aerial vehicle. A flight controller activates the thrusters, and controls the output of each of the thrusters. The flight controller deactivates, when it is determined that there is a malfunction in one of the thrusters as a malfunctioned thruster, the malfunctioned thruster. The flight controller deactivates a selected thruster in the thrusters; the selected thruster being paired to the malfunctioned thruster, and controls the active thrusters except for the deactivated thrusters in all the thrusters to make the flight attitude of the aerial vehicle stable. The flight controller controls the active thrusters to cause the aerial vehicle to land while maintaining the flight attitude of the aerial vehicle being stable.

Abstract: A flight guidance system is provided which includes an aerial vehicle unit and a navigation display unit. In use, the navigation display unit is placed on the ground, a wall, a ceiling, or a floor of a structural object and indicates navigation information for the aerial vehicle unit. The aerial vehicle unit optically reads the navigation information out of the navigation display unit to determine an installation position where the navigation display unit is disposed and also determine a flight position thereof based on the installation position. This enables the aerial vehicle unit to continue to fly along a given flight route without need for complicating the structure and operation thereof in an area where it is difficult for the aerial vehicle unit to receive navigation signals such as GPS signals.

Abstract: An aerial vehicle is provided which includes first thrusters with first propellers and second thrusters with second propellers. Each of the first propellers has a first rotating region in which blades thereof rotate. Similarly, each of the second propellers has a second rotating region in which blades thereof rotate. Each of the first rotating regions is located to overlap one of the second rotating regions, as viewed in a direction of a yaw axis of the aerial vehicle. The first rotating regions are located away from the second rotating regions in the direction of the yaw axis. Such layout of the first and second propellers eliminates physical interference therebetween. The overlap between the first and second propellers results in a decreased cross-sectional area of projection of the aerial vehicle from the front view in a flight direction thereof.

Abstract: An apparatus for estimating rotor position for brushless motors capable of accurately estimating rotor position even though power source voltage fluctuates is provided. First, the power source voltage is detected, and voltage is supplied only for a certain period of time and a current response is detected. The current detection value is multiplied by the ratio of a reference voltage to the power source voltage detected to correct the current detection value. Specifically, the peak current detection value is corrected upwardly or downwardly in each direction. A voltage supplying direction in which the current detection value is maximized is searched for to estimate the rotor position and a brushless motor is started.
