A multi-rotor Aerial Vehicle with least rotors/propellers and having single arm failure redundancy is disclosed. The AV comprises at least five arms with at least one arm having a co-axial pair of contra rotating rotors/propellers. To maintain yaw stability under normal conditions, half of rotors/propellers are rotated in one direction and other half in opposite direction. In the event of failure of any one of the rotors/propellers located adjacent to the pair of contra rotating rotors/propellers, the one propeller/rotor out of the contra rotating rotor/propeller that is rotating opposite to the failed rotor/propeller is shut off. In the event of failure of a rotor/propeller belonging to contra rotating rotors/propellers, other rotor/propeller of the pair is shut off. In the event of failure of any one of rotors/propellers not adjacent to contra rotating rotors/propellers, the RPMs of other rotors/propellers is adjusted to maintain stability and navigate the Aerial Vehicle.
