This present patent application discloses an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that features a stable and easy way of steering and controlling the unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle comprises of four vanes attached to extension arms, a single engine coupled to a special gearbox and sliding weights. The unmanned aerial vehicle features sliding weights below the extension arms and are used for steering the UAV in a desired direction in air.
