Abstract
A flat-stock aerial vehicle includes a body having a plurality of flat-stock sheets connected to one another, at least one motor, and at least three aerodynamic propulsors driven by the at least one motor. The aerodynamic propulsors can provide lifting thrust, pitch, yaw, and roll control in both helicopter-like hover flight and airplane-like translational flight.
