CONTROL DEVICE FOR ELECTRIC AIRCRAFT

A control apparatus (19), which controls a drive motor (12) that drives a rotor (30) installed in an electrical aircraft, instructs the drive motor to selectively operate in at least two motor-control modes. The at least two motor-control modes include a flying motor-control mode for causing the electrical aircraft to fly, and a cleaning motor-control mode for cleaning the rotor. The control apparatus controls, in the cleaning motor-control mode, the drive motor such that a rotational frequency of the drive motor is lower than a predetermined human-audible frequency range.
