Abstract
A method and device of a Skyteboard™ quadcopter are disclosed. In one aspect, a quadcopter includes a first pair of rotors including a first rotor and a second rotor physically enclosed in a peanut shaped airframe, an undercarriage mechanically coupled on a lower side of the peanut shaped airframe, and a second pair of rotors comprising of a third rotor and a fourth rotor mechanically coupled to the undercarriage. The second pair of rotors folds underneath the first pair of rotors such that the first pair of rotors and the second pair of rotors are substantially parallel to each other in a folded mode of the quadcopter. The first pair of rotors is substantially above the second pair of rotors in the folded mode, such that the first rotor is substantially above the third rotor and the second rotor is substantially above the fourth rotor when in the folded mode.
