The invention discloses an electric unmanned plane and a cruising ability estimating method thereof, and belongs to the field of unmanned plane. The electric unmanned machine comprises a memory, which is used to store the total electric quantity of a battery and the measured value of the current left electric quantity of the battery; a container, which is used to store the relationship, which is obtained in advance, between the weight of load and the cruising ability; a weight obtaining module, which is used to obtain the actual weight of the load of an electric unmanned plane; and a controller, which is used to estimate the cruising ability of the electric unmanned plane according to the relationship, actual weight of load, total electric quantity of the battery, and current left electric quantity, wherein the cruising ability comprises cruising distance and/or cruising time, and the weight of load should be in the range of carrying capacity of the unmanned plane. On the basis of current technology for estimating the cruising ability of electric unmanned plane, the provided method takes the load of electric unmanned plane into account, and thus the accuracy of estimation for the cruising ability of electric unmanned plane is further improved.
