Abstract
This automatic takeoff/landing system for a vertical takeoff/landing aircraft comprises: a relative wind information acquisition unit that acquires the direction of relative wind at a moving object; and a control unit that executes takeoff/landing control to cause the vertical takeoff/landing aircraft to takeoff/land at a landing target point provided on the moving object. The control unit, during takeoff/landing of the vertical takeoff/landing aircraft, executes the takeoff/landing control on the basis of the direction of the relative wind acquired by the relative wind information acquisition unit, in a state in which the aircraft heading of the vertical takeoff/landing aircraft is caused to face the direction of the relative wind.
