An aircraft comprises a fuselage, a plurality of support structures coupled to the fuselage, and a first propeller and a second propeller connected to a motor and symmetrically distributed along the plurality of support structures, the first propeller configured to create a first thrust having a first horizontal force vector and the second propeller configured to create a second thrust having a second horizontal force vector. A summation of the first and second horizontal force vectors is substantially zero when the first thrust is substantially equal to the second thrust, and a first rotational axis of the first propeller and a second rotational axis of the second propeller are substantially coplanar with a vertical axis disposed between the first and second propeller. A movement of the aircraft is controlled by selectively increasing or decreasing a thrust of either the first propeller or the second propeller.
