The invention discloses a multi-power-source series-connection type hybrid power unmanned aerial vehicle and a control method thereof. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises a vehicle body, a left wing, a right wing, a left aileron, a right aileron, a left flap, a right flap, an empennage, a left wing motor, a left wing propeller, a right wing motor, a right wing propeller, a standby propeller module, a horizontal stabilizer, a vertical stabilizer, an elevator, a rudder, an engine, a clutch, an inverter, a power generation/electric all-in-one machine, a storage battery pack, a super-capacitor,an oil tank, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a state-of-charge estimation module and a control module. Enough cruising ability and high maneuverability of the unmanned aerial vehicle can be guaranteed; and meanwhile, the standby propeller module is arranged on the empennage, so when a driving mechanism of the unmanned aerial vehicle breaks down, an engine drives the standby propeller to drive the unmanned aerial vehicle, the situation that the system has a certain redundancy function is guaranteed, and the survival capacity of the unmanned aerial vehicle is greatly improved.
