The disclosure thus relates to a light unmanned vertical takeoff aerial vehicle (1) which comprises at least two fixed coplanar propulsion devices (7) and at least one wing (3) providing the drone (1) with lift. The coplanar propulsion devices (7) and the wing (3) are each arranged on the framework (10) of the drone (1) such that the plane of the chord of the profile of the wing (3) is substantially parallel to the plane defined by the two coplanar propulsion devices (7). The wing (3) is capable of a pivoting movement with respect to the framework (10) about an axis parallel to the pitch axis of the drone (1). The disclosure also relates to a method for controlling a light unmanned aerial vehicle (1) like the one described hereinabove, which involves a step of controlling the orientation of the wing (3), which uses at least one parameter pertaining to the flight of the drone (1).
