Abstract: An aerial vehicle includes a hull containing the main processor, energy storage, support components such as sensors, wireless communication, and landing gear. Attached to the hull are at least three thrust or propulsion units each with two degrees of freedom from the hull allowing them to orient independently in any direction and apply thrust independently from the hull or any other thrust or propulsion unit. In some embodiments, a mount for auxiliary attachments is included or the auxiliary system is built into the hull. Components like the energy storage, auxiliary attachments, and/or propulsion units may also be replaceable as required.
