1. An aircraft, comprising:
- a plurality of rotors, wherein;
the plurality of rotors are attached to the aircraft at a fixed roll angle and a fixed pitch angle;
the plurality of rotors rotate independently of one another; and
the plurality of rotors include;
an outer back rotor which is attached to the aircraft at a highest height associated with the plurality of rotors;
an outer front rotor which is attached to the aircraft at a second highest height associated with the plurality of rotors;
an inner back rotor which is attached to the aircraft at a third highest height associated with the plurality of rotors;
an inner front rotor which is attached to the aircraft at a lowest height associated with the plurality of rotors; and
an inner middle rotor which is attached to the aircraft at the lowest height associated with the plurality of rotors; and
a fuselage which includes a side wall with a top edge, wherein the top edge of the side wall is higher than the plurality of rotors.
