To provide a technology for landing a flying body on the ground even when abnormality occurs in a fuel cell.SOLUTION: A flying body is equipped with a propeller, a motor that rotates the propeller, a fuel cell that supplies power to the motor, a secondary cell that is connected to the fuel cell in parallel, and supplies power to the motor with the fuel cell, and a control device that controls at least the operation of the motor to control the flying operation of the flying body. The control device sets a flight altitude upper limit on the basis of an SOC of the secondary cell, and limits the flight altitude of the flying body to be the flight altitude upper limit or less.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3 【課題】燃料電池に異常が生じたときでも、飛行体を地上に着陸させるための技術を提供する。【解決手段】飛行体は、プロペラと、プロペラを回転させるモータと、モータに電力を供給する燃料電池と、燃料電池に並列に接続されており、燃料電池とともにモータに電力を供給する二次電池と、少なくともモータの動作を制御することによって、飛行体の飛行動作を制御する制御装置と、を備える。制御装置は、二次電池のＳＯＣに基づいて飛行高度上限を設定し、飛行体の飛行高度を飛行高度上限以下に制限する。【選択図】図３
