A liquid propelled unmanned aerial vehicle includes a carrier and a nozzle assembly mounted to the carrier. The nozzle assembly includes a nozzle adapted to eject a liquid propulsion jet, and a liquid inlet connection in fluid communication with the nozzle to connect the nozzle assembly to a pressurized liquid source. The nozzle has a variable orientation relative to the carrier. A control unit is operationally connected to the moveable nozzle so as to control the orientation of the nozzle and thereby the direction of the propulsion jet. A stabilising weight is suspended from the carrier and arranged such that a centre of gravity of the aerial vehicle is located in use below the nozzle.
