An unmanned aerial vehicle has a thrust body including a control system, thrusters to generate lift and direct the UAV in response to control signals from the control system. A spherical fender cage envelopes the thrust body. Spokes extend radially from the thrust body to support spherical thrust bearings able to slide freely against the internal spherical surface of the fender cage such that the fender cage is uncoupled from the thrust body and can rotate freely in any spherical direction without the use of any gimbal mechanism.
