To provide a fuel cell equipped drone that can use the electric power of a fuel cell and a secondary battery according to required electric power.SOLUTION: A fuel cell equipped drone 11 has: a flight electric motor 24; a hydrogen fuel cell 42 that generates electric power to be supplied to the flight electric motor 24; and a secondary battery 46 that supplies electric power to the flight electric motor 24. The fuel cell equipped drone 11 is configured to have: a switching unit 44 that can switch between a low load mode in which electric power from the hydrogen fuel cell 42 is supplied to the flight electric motor 24 and a high load mode in which electric power from the hydrogen fuel cell 42 and electric power from the secondary battery 46 are supplied to the flight electric motor 24; and a control unit 45 that determines whether or not the electric power required by the flight electric motor 24 is equal to or less than the power generated by the hydrogen fuel cell 42, wherein the control unit 45 also selects the low load mode if the required electric power is equal to or less than the generated electric power, or selects the high load mode if the required electric power exceeds the generated electric power.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
