Abstract
A system includes a plurality of aircrafts, each of which has an antenna for forming a communication area on the ground to provide a radio communication service to a user terminal in the communication area, and a management device for managing the plurality of aircrafts. The management device includes a signal transmitting unit that transmits a remote operation signal to an aircraft selected as the remote operation target from the plurality of aircrafts. Each of the plurality of aircrafts includes a remote operation flying control unit that, when an aircraft is selected as the remote operation target, causes the aircraft to fly based on the remote operation signal received from the management device, and a tuned flying control unit that, when the aircraft is not selected as the remote operation target, causes the aircraft to fly in tune with other aircraft selected as the remote operation target.
