1. A method for supporting aerial operation, comprising:
obtaining a real-time location of an aircraft;
obtaining a location of a supply station;
obtaining a location of a next waypoint;
determining information related to a status of the aircraft associated with the real-time location of the aircraft, the information related to the status of the aircraft including a max flight distance of the aircraft, the max flight distance of the aircraft being determined based on a remaining power supply of the aircraft; and
controlling the aircraft to fly based on the information related to the status of the aircraft, including:
controlling the aircraft to fly to the next waypoint in response to determining that the information related to the status of the aircraft satisfies a first preset condition; and
controlling the aircraft to fly to the supply station in response to determining that the information related to the status of the aircraft satisfies a second preset condition, the supply station including a refilling station, a power refilling station, a power supply station, or a power supply refilling station.
