The invention relates to a drone comprising: two contra-rotating annular propellers (2, 4) defining a plane therebetween which is referred to as an equatorial plane and is assumed to be horizontal, means for driving the propellers, a load arranged below the equatorial plane, and means (20) for moving the load relative to the equatorial plane, an enclosure referred to as an upper enclosure (6) filled with a gas or a gaseous mixture having a density of less than 1 and arranged essentially above the equatorial plane, and an enclosure referred to as a lower enclosure (8) filled with a gas or a gaseous mixture having a density of less than 1 and arranged essentially below the equatorial plane, the load being placed inside the lower enclosure (8).
