An air vehicle includes a flight computer, a fuselage, and two rotors mounted symmetrically with respect to the fuselage. Each of the two rotors includes a servo mechanism to tilt a respective rotor of the two rotors about two axes of the respective rotor. The flight computer is configured to send control parameters to each of the two rotors, the control parameters including a rotational speed, a first tilt angle about a first axis of the two axes of the respective rotor, and a second tilt angle about a second axis of the two axes of the respective rotor. A method for operating the air vehicle is also provided.
