Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to a flight direction display method and apparatus, and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The method includes: obtaining a flight direction indication of an aircraft sent by a camera system, where the flight direction indication is determined by the camera system according to a relative angle between a camera apparatus and the aircraft; and displaying the flight direction indication of the aircraft on a shooting preview screen. In this way, a flight direction of the aircraft is controlled according to the flight direction indication, so that in a shooting process, a flight direction of a fuselage of the aircraft is the same as a rotation direction of the camera apparatus, so as to shoot content wanted by the camera apparatus, thereby improving user experience.

Abstract: A multirotor aircraft and a method for controlling the multirotor aircraft are disclosed. The multirotor aircraft comprises a body and a H-shaped frame, wherein, the body is mounted with a bearing, a first person view camera and a servo mechanism, the end of each arm of the H-shaped frame far away from a lateral shaft thereof is mounted with an actuator assembly, the lateral shaft of the H-shaped frame is connected with the body by the bearing, and the servo mechanism is coupled with the lateral shaft of the H-shaped frame and is configured to control the rotation of the lateral shaft of the H-shaped frame, in order to control the angle between the body and the H-shaped frame. The method comprises a first mode and a second mode, wherein in the first mode, keeping the horizon within the camera view of the aircraft; and in the second mode, generating control command on the basis of the camera aligned axis.
