Abstract: A rotary wing aircraft can include a central body and at least three rotors, each rotor connected to the central body by a swashplate. A system for controlling the flight of an aircraft with a plurality of rotors can include: an electronic control system programmed to calculate a pitch for blades of each rotor of the plurality of rotors based on an input indicating a desired motion of the aircraft; and a plurality of swashplates, each swashplate associated with a unique rotor of the plurality of rotors, each swash plate in electronic communication with the electronic control system and operable to control the pitch for blades of the associated unique rotor in response to signals from the electronic control system.
