Abstract
A flying vehicle navigation system includes a flying vehicle () and a control system () that controls the flight of the flying vehicle. The flying vehicle is configured to be switchable to autonomous driving when the flying vehicle is located in a first takeoff and landing section () set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, the control system guides the flying vehicle such that the flying vehicle takes off from a first takeoff and landing section, flies in a three-dimensional road as an exclusive track set in the specific region of the air, and lands on a second takeoff and landing section set on the ground. After the flying vehicle is switched to autonomous driving, operations from takeoff from the first takeoff and landing section to landing on the second takeoff and landing section are automatically carried out under control by the control system.
