  • Publication number: 20220214703
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to a flight method and apparatus for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and a UAV. The method includes: obtaining a distance between the UAV and an electronic fence; applying a virtual resistance force to the UAV if the distance is less than a preset distance threshold value; and obtaining a speed instruction according to the virtual resistance force, to adjust a flight speed of the UAV according to the speed instruction. In the embodiments of the disclosure, when a distance between a UAV and an electronic fence is less than a preset distance threshold value, a virtual resistance force is applied to the UAV, and a speed instruction is obtained according to the virtual resistance force, to adjust a flight speed of the UAV. By means of the embodiments of the disclosure, the acceleration of a UAV can be reduced. In this way, a distance by which the UAV rushes into a restricted area is reduced.
