Claim 0:
1. An aerial vehicle apparatus, comprising:
a first propulsion mechanism;
a second propulsion mechanism;
a third propulsion mechanism;
a fourth propulsion mechanism;
a fifth propulsion mechanism; and
a sixth propulsion mechanism;
wherein:
the first propulsion mechanism, the third propulsion mechanism, and the fifth propulsion mechanism are aligned in a plane and oriented in a first direction;
the second propulsion mechanism, the fourth propulsion mechanism, and the sixth propulsion mechanism are aligned in the plane and oriented in a second direction that is different than the first direction; and
the first propulsion mechanism, the second propulsion mechanism, the third propulsion mechanism, the fourth propulsion mechanism, the fifth propulsion mechanism, and the sixth propulsion mechanism are arranged such that the aerial vehicle apparatus can aerially navigate independently in any of a surge direction, a sway direction, a heave direction, a roll direction, a pitch direction, or a yaw direction.
