To provide a control device of a vertical takeoff/landing aircraft that is capable of enhancing safety when abnormality of a driving device has occurred.SOLUTION: A flight control device conducts flight control processing for making an eVTOL fly. If EPU abnormality occurs during vertical takeoff, the flight control device 40 conducts during-takeoff processing in flight control processing. The flight control device 40 conducts abnormality stop processing in step S402 of the during-takeoff processing. In the abnormality stop processing, processing is carried out to stop the drive of an abnormal EPU. The flight control device 40 conducts correction augmentation processing in step S403. In the correction augmentation processing, output of at least one normal EPU is augmented. In the correction augmentation processing, for example, output of an adjacent EPU among a plurality of normal EPUs is augmented. The adjacent EPU is a normal EPU adjacent to the abnormal EPU in a circumferential direction of a yawing axis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】駆動装置の異常が発生した場合の安全性を高めることができる垂直離着陸機の制御装置を提供する。【解決手段】飛行制御装置は、ｅＶＴＯＬを飛行させるための飛行制御処理を行う。垂直離陸中にＥＰＵ異常が発生した場合、飛行制御装置４０は、飛行制御処理において離陸中処理を行う。飛行制御装置４０は、離陸中処理のステップＳ４０２において異常停止処理を行う。異常停止処理では、異常ＥＰＵの駆動を停止させるための処理が行われる。飛行制御装置４０は、ステップＳ４０３において補正増加処理を行う。補正増加処理では、少なくとも１つの正常ＥＰＵの出力が増加される。補正増加処理では、例えば複数の正常ＥＰＵのうち隣接ＥＰＵの出力が増加される。隣接ＥＰＵは、ヨー軸の周方向において異常ＥＰＵに隣り合う正常ＥＰＵである。【選択図】図６
