Roll up mono copter wing

Kinda handy looking, a roll up monocopter wing which is seemingly well controlled.

Software nerds really are impressive sometimes

Flexible Monocopter Drone Can Be Completely Rolled Up

The monocopter is a type of micro aerial vehicle (MAV) largely inspired from the flight of botanical samaras (Acer palmatum). A large section of its fuselage forms the single wing where all its useful aerodynamic forces are generated, making it achieve a highly efficient mode of flight. However, compared to a multi-rotor of similar weight, monocopters can be large and cumbersome for transport, mainly due to their large and rigid wing structure.
