Abstract: According to one embodiment, a flying body includes a radar, a supporter, a plurality of rotors supported by the supporter, and a controller. The rotors include a first rotor. The radar is configured to perform a detection operation and a non-detection operation. The controller is configured to perform a first control operation in a first transition from the non-detection operation to the detection operation. The controller is configured to perform a first change in the first control operation to change a rotational speed of the first rotor from a rotational speed of the first rotor in the non-detection operation. The detection operation is performed after the first control operation.

Abstract: A flight device in which a mechanism for transmitting power is simplified is provided. The flight device 10 includes an airframe 19, main rotors 14, an engine 30, and power transmission shafts 25. The main rotors 14 are rotated to generate drive force that causes the airframe 19 to lift. The engine 30 includes crankshafts. The power transmission shafts 25 are connected to the crankshafts. Moreover, the engine 30 rotates the main rotors 14 via the power transmission shafts 25. The power transmission shafts 25 are tilted with respect to a second direction D2.

Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a flight-only mode with a motor only rotating propellers and not rotating on-board wheels to configure the UAV to fly away from a surface of a structure, and a crawling-only mode in which the UAV is configured to crawl on the surface due to the motor only rotating the wheels while not rotating the propellers. In the flight-only mode, a clutch disengages a motor from the wheels so that the motor only engages the propellers to fly to lift from the surface. In the crawling-only mode, the clutch disengages the motor from the propellers so that the motor only engages the wheels to move the UAV on the surface.
