A rotating flying vehicle comprising: a hub having an outer perimeter; an outer ring having a diameter greater than said outer perimeter defined by the hub; a plurality of blades extending outwardly and downwardly connecting the hub to the outer ring; a plurality of rotor assemblies, each rotor assembly includes a motor to spin a propeller, said propeller being positioned beneath said plurality of blades, a mechanism controlling all of the propellers to spin in the same direction such that when spinning the propellers cause the hub, blades, and outer ring to sufficiently rotate in an opposite direction as the spinning propellers and will generate lift such that the vehicle will fly; a system for determining a directional point of reference for the rotor assemblies as the entire vehicle is rotating; and a control system to fly the vehicle in a specified direction based on the directional point of reference and relative to a remote user.
