To provide a technique for carrying out inspection of an inner wall by making an aerial vehicle fly without contacting (the inner wall or the like of) an inspection structure.SOLUTION: The present invention relates to an aerial vehicle, an inspection method and an inspection system for inspecting an inner wall of a substantially tubular structure by utilizing an aerial vehicle. The aerial vehicle includes: an acquisition part for acquiring a direction of an inner wall for at least an inspection start position; a control part for controlling a direction of an own machine on the basis of the acquired direction; and an inspection part for inspecting the presence/absence of a prescribed phenomenon. The aerial vehicle acquires the direction of the inner wall for at least the inspection start position, and controls the direction of an own machine on the basis of the acquired direction, in order to carry out inspection by making the aerial vehicle fly according to characteristics of the inspection.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】点検構造物(の内壁等)に接触させないように飛行させて当該内壁の点検を実施する技術を提供すること。【解決手段】本発明は、飛行体を利用して略管状の構造体の内壁を点検するための飛行体、点検方法及び点検システムである。飛行体は、少なくとも点検開始位置において内壁の向きを取得する取得部と、取得した向きに基づいて自機の方向を制御する制御部と、所定の事象の有無を点検する点検部とを備えている。飛行体は、少なくとも点検開始位置において内壁の向きを取得し、取得した向きに基づいて自機の方向を制御し、点検の特性に応じて飛行体を飛行させて点検を行う。【選択図】図2
