An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) powered using electric propulsion is provided. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a main frame and a plurality of thrust rings. The plurality of thrust rings is arranged in a first spatial configuration around the main frame and is rotatably coupled to at least one actuator in the main frame along a pivot axis. The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) further includes a plurality of plasma actuators disposed on at least one of the plurality of thrust rings. Further, in an actuated state, the plurality of plasma actuators actuates to generate a plasma thrust that causes the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to orient along a particular axis or move in a specific direction.
