An aircraft is provided. The aircraft includes a body having a seat adapted for a user to sit atop, a set of propulsion units for providing lift to the aircraft, and a steering mechanism for controlling movement of the aircraft. The steering mechanism includes a set of handlebars adapted for the user to grasp while sitting atop the seat. The steering mechanism also includes a steering column that is rigidly connected to the set of handlebars, where the set of handlebars and the steering column are rotatable about a longitudinal axis of the steering column. The steering mechanism further includes one or more sensors for detecting rotation of the steering column. The steering mechanism enables the user to control a yaw of the aircraft by turning the set of handlebars about the longitudinal axis of the steering column.
