A rotatable thruster aircraft includes an airframe, which includes an aircraft body and a fixed wing; rotatable thruster assemblies, each including first and second thrusters that provide rotation via differential thrust; a rotatable shaft with torsional flexibility; an inertial measurement unit; optionally vertical lift thrusters; and an aircraft control unit, including a processor, a non-transitory memory, an input/output component, and a power manager that controls specific power applied to the thrusters.
