An aircraft includes a fuselage, a main wing, and a flight controller. The main wing is attached to the fuselage and configured to generate lift that acts on the aircraft. The flight controller includes an electric field direction estimator, an attitude calculator, and an attitude controller. The electric field direction estimator is configured to estimate a direction of an electric field around the aircraft. The attitude calculator is configured to calculate a target airframe attitude that reduces a possibility of occurrence of lightning strike on the aircraft, on the basis of the direction of the electric field estimated by the electric field direction estimator. The attitude controller is configured to control an attitude of an airframe of the aircraft to cause the attitude of the airframe to be the target airframe attitude calculated by the attitude calculator.
