The invention provides a distribution system for a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). The dispensing system may include: a plurality of dispensing nozzles operable to dispense an agricultural product at a variable flow rate; a flow controller responsive to the instructions and operable to adjust an amount of agricultural product dispensed by the dispensing nozzle; and a control system. The control system may include: a plurality of sensors operable to monitor a plurality of flight parameters; and a processing unit configured to model effects of the plurality of flight parameters based on a first flow control instruction corresponding to a specified coverage area of the agricultural product, and calculate and output an adjusted flow control instruction to the flow controller. The control system may adjust the first control command to vary the flow rate of one or more of the plurality of dispensing nozzles to achieve an actual coverage of the agricultural product closer to the prescribed coverage. 本申请提供了一种用于UAV的分配系
