Abstract
An aerial vehicle control method includes detecting a flight control instruction during returning of an aerial vehicle to a return point along a return trajectory according to an auto return instruction. The flight control instruction determines a predetermined trajectory different from the return trajectory. The method further includes generating a superimposed instruction by superimposing return point position information indicating the return point and the flight control instruction. The superimposed instruction determines a flight trajectory that is an integration of the return trajectory and the predetermined trajectory and that is different from the return trajectory and the predetermined trajectory. The method also includes controlling the aerial vehicle to fly along the flight trajectory according to the superimposed instruction.
