Abstract
Aerial vehicles are provided with one or more transformable arms (). The one or more transformable arms () may support one or more propulsion units, and transform between a flight configuration where the propulsion units of the arms effect flight of the aerial vehicle, and a landing configuration, wherein the transformable arms () are used as a landing support that bears weight of the aerial vehicle when the aerial vehicle is not in flight. Using the transformable arms () as legs when the UAV is in a landed state permits the UAV to reduce weight and reduce obstruction to a payload carried by the UAV when the UA is in flight.
