Flight is typically 4DOF: (throttle, pitch, roll, yaw). There is no horizontal or vertical 'strafing' ability.

Helicopters and hummingbirds fly. And flies, they fly too. And there are a lot more flies flying than planes.

The platform can move in the vertical and horizontal, e.g by exploiting a crosswind.
