A flying vehicle including powering a plurality of vertical thrustors, said vertical thrustors coupled to an airframe and positioned to provide thrust in substantially one direction. Also, powering a plurality of horizontal thrustors, said horizontal thrustors disposed to provide thrust in a direction substantially orthogonal to the thrust of the vertical thrustors, and adjusting the angle of attack from a wing, said wing adjustable in both a horizontal and vertical direction. The vertical or horizontal thrustors include electrically driven rotor which includes a series of blades mounted around the rotor. The rotor and blades are positioned inside an input nozzle with a tapered inlet. The blades are positioned near the narrowest portion of the input nozzle. Multiple layers of blades may be employed to achieve a desired thrust including stacked blades with varying blade pitch.
