Abstract
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes a central body and a plurality of arms extendable from the central body using one or more actuators. Each of the plurality of arms is configured to support one or more propulsion units. One arm of the plurality of arms is configured to connect to one of the one or more actuators via a linkage mechanism. The one of the one or more actuators is configured to actuate the linkage mechanism between (1) a first dead center position for securing the one arm when the one arm is extended away from the central body in a flight configuration and (2) a second dead center position for securing the one arm when the one arm is folded substantially parallel to the central body in a compact configuration.
