Abstract: Disclosed is a suspended system with orientation control including a planar frame, a plurality of sensors coupled to the frame and configured to track an orientation of the frame in real time and at least two thrusters coupled to the frame and configured to adjust the orientation of the frame. Each of the at least two thrusters may have an axis oriented in a direction perpendicular to the frame and two propellers axially aligned with the axis and configured to rotate in a same direction while creating thrust in opposite directions. A holographic fan configured to display a graphic may be coupled to the frame. The planar frame may be suspended from an unmanned aerial vehicle.
