A rotary-wing drone includes a drone body including an electronic card controlling the piloting of the drone and one or more linking arms, one or more propulsion units mounted on respective ones of the linking arms, and at least one obstacle sensor integral with the drone body, whose main direction of detection is located in a substantially horizontal plane. The drone additionally includes logic executing by a processor in the electronic card and adapted to perform the controlling by correcting the drone orientation—specifically the yaw orientation—of the drone in flight so as to maintain one of the at least one obstacle sensor in the direction of displacement of the drone.
