Drones are generally controlled in the air through electronic control, electric adjustment, central control power supply and GPS. The existing drones rotate from the initial state to the action state. The control action of the Euler angle of the drone coordinate point is mainly generated by the motor rotation difference. The existing technical exploration often stays at the movement mode of the rotation difference moving mechanism, but with the current algorithm and structure, four-dimensional vector flight actions such as figure eight, rotation, flipping, and discounting can be realized. It is impossible to achieve full-dimensional vector technical actions with special requirements such as rapid emergency stop, rapid oblique flight, fishing oblique flight, etc., and the existing flying equipment cannot achieve positive resistance to the wind direction for fresh wind, strong wind, uphill wind, and mixed wind at high altitude. The existing improvement method is, for the above wind shape, according to the operator's corresponding approximate azimuth forward momentum, one component resists wind energy, and the other component realizes action, which is prone to dangerous actions such as equipment instability and gourd-shaped movement, and there are potential risks for actors and operators.
