An electric multicopter (100) that has a plurality of propellers (1). The multicopter (100) is provided with an electric motor (2), at least one main battery (3), a generator (4), an engine (5), and a battery status detection unit (71). The electric motor (2) drives the propellers (1). The main battery (3) is a first electric power source that supplies electric power to the electric motor (2). The generator (4) is a second electric power source that supplies electric power to the electric motor (2). The engine (5) drives the generator (4). The battery status detection unit (71) detects abnormalities in the main battery (3). When the battery status detection unit (71) has detected an abnormality in the main battery (3), the generator (4) directly supplies the electric motor (2) with electric power that has been converted from motive power from the engine (5). |
