Keywords: mav, flight formation, formation shape control, interaction field

A formation shape control of air vehicles is investigated referring to the formation of organisms in nature. The formation shape can be changed by modifying the shape of interaction field around the agents without calculating the position of each agent, thus providing a simple method for the formation shape control.
