A flight vehicle and a control method thereof. The method comprises: detecting a current tilt angle and observation information of a flight vehicle, wherein the observation information comprises a location and a speed in a vertical direction; acquiring target information in the vertical direction; computing, according to the tilt angle, the observation information and the target information, an adjustment angle of the current tilt angle, and a lift force provided by a propeller (340) of the flight vehicle; and controlling, according to the lift force provided by the propeller (340) and the adjustment angle, the flight vehicle to fly to the target location. In one aspect, the flight vehicle and the control method thereof can be utilized to reduce reliance of the flight vehicle on the propeller, reducing workload of the propeller, significantly reducing power consumption of a motor, and achieving a longer operational duration of the flight vehicle using a same battery and power system configuration.
