An aeronautical vehicle that rights itself from an inverted state to an upright state has a self-righting dome shaped vehicle body has an apex/protrusion preferably at a top of a central vertical axis. The apex/protrusion provides initial instability to begin a self-righting process when the vehicle is inverted on a surface. A lift and stabilization panel extends across an upper portion of said frame to provide lift, drag and/or stability. A propulsion system can be located within a central void of the frame assembly and oriented to provide a lifting force. An electronics assembly is also carried by the self-righting body for receiving remote control commands and is communicatively interconnected to the power supply for remotely controlling the aeronautical vehicle to take off, to fly, and to land on a supporting surface. The body provides self-righting functionality and protection of elements carried therein.
