Minimal number required

You can have a controllable craft using only 4 of those in vertices of regular tetrahedron. One thruster (back) points directly away from CoM and 3 (front) point away from a point slightly in front of CoM. Back thruster moves forward, 3 front thrusters combined move backward and 1-2 front thrusters plus back thruster provide rotation.

How do you provide roll authority? If you can a graphic/screenshot would be good and a short animation/video showing all rotations be even better. Oh and how do you provide lateral motion? — xZise [talk] 07:54, 25 August 2014 (CDT)
