Systems and methods are provided for multi-orientation flight. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) may be capable of flight in a first orientation and a second orientation that may be different from the first orientation. For example, a UAV may include one or more electronic speed control (ESC) units that may control direction of rotation of one or more propulsion units depending on the orientation of the UAV, to generate lift for the UAV. The one or more propulsion units may include protective covers that may protect one or more rotating components of the propulsion units when the UAV is on a landing surface in the first orientation or the second orientation. The UAV may change orientation on the landing surface or while in flight, in response to a sensed condition and/or instructions from a remote user.
