An unmanned aerial system includes an elongated fuselage having first and second rotational degrees of freedom. A forward propulsion assembly is disposed at the forward end of the fuselage. The forward propulsion assembly includes a forward rotor hub assembly rotatably coupled to the fuselage and reversibly tiltable about a first gimballing axis to provide a first moment on the fuselage in the first rotational degree of freedom. An aft propulsion assembly is disposed at the aft end of the fuselage. The aft propulsion assembly includes an aft rotor hub assembly rotatably coupled to the fuselage and reversibly tiltable about a second gimballing axis to provide a second moment on the fuselage in the second rotational degree of freedom. The first gimballing axis is out of phase with the second gimballing axis to control the orientation of the fuselage.
