Quadrotors have a great potential for transportation, commercial and military applications. In this paper, a quadrotor design is proposed for manned application. The design decouples all motions by allowing each rotor to tilt in two directions about its fixed frames. This modification improves the stability and safety of the quadrotor and gives it more maneuverability and robustness. The model is presented along with a proposed operator control panel. Several flight scenarios are also simulated to illustrate the superiority over conventional manned air vehicles.
