An unmanned aerial vehicle for vertical take-off and landing is disclosed. Cylinders installed along its perimeter are rotatable. The body has inlets leading to the gas intake and supply area, where centrifugal impellers are installed at the top and bottom to create a forced gas flow. At the outlet from the gas intake and supply area, and along the perimeter, independent flow channels extend into a tunnel, which narrows at the outlet. The forced air created by rotation of the impellers passes through cells of the flow channels, which allows one continuous flow to split into several smaller ones and evenly distributes the air supply along the cylinders' length. The flows pass through the tunnel and reaches the cylinders. The forced air that flows to the rotating cylinders produces the Magnus effect on each cylinder. The torque of the upper impeller is compensated by the torque of the lower impeller.
