The invention is directed toward a UAV having a plurality of rotors position on axles extending longitudinally from a fuselage. The axles articulate the rotors from a vertical position, where the rotors provide lift, to a horizontal position, where the rotors provide thrust. The UAV is configured such that the voltage provided to each rotor may be varied to adjust rotor speed, and thus thrust, independently, giving the UAV enhanced maneuverability.
