A torque and pitch managed four rotor aircraft includes intersecting blades connected by synchronizing gears. The power for the rotors is provided by individual motors, one for each rotor, the motors preferably electric. Each rotor-motor assembly includes a torque management system including a set of torque sensors mounted on the drive shaft of the rotor-motor, the torque management system configured to balance the load torque presented by the rotors against the torque supplied by the motors. An additional overriding feedback system regulates rotational speed of the rotors. Direction of the aircraft is effected by adjusting the pitch of the individual rotors, and power is supplied through a battery and/or a motor-generator system located in the aircraft.
