The invention relates to a wingless aircraft (1) having a plurality of lifting rotors (3) which are driven by electric motor and rotate about various rotor axes (2). The aircraft (1) has at least one energy store (21) for making available the electrical energy necessary to operate the lifting rotors (3), at least one control device (22) for actuating the lifting rotors (3) and for communication with a ground station and at least two camera devices (4) for detecting a panorama image. An extremely small, spherical rotor envelope (5) which encloses all the lifting rotors (3) has a larger volume than an extremely small spherical camera envelope (6) which encloses camera lenses (7) of all the camera devices (4). The camera devices (4) extend over a field of vision, wherein the field of vision surrounds the entire aircraft (1), and wherein the lifting rotors (3) lie outside the field of vision.
