An aerial vehicle includes a body having a center and a number of spatially separated thrusters. The spatially separated thrusters are statically coupled to the body at locations around the center of the body and are configured to emit thrust along a number of thrust vectors. The thrust vectors have a number of different directions with each thruster configured to emit thrust along a different one of the thrust vectors. One or more of the thrust vectors have a component in a direction toward the center of the body or away from the center of the body.
