Invention relates to a wing folding mechanism for a pair of wings comprising a lower wing (5) and a co-operative upper wing (6) extending opposite to each other in a deployment position and approach each other when rotated from respective remote ends to a resting position. According to the invention, a spherical rolling element slots (10) is adapted to receive a number of uniform spherical rolling elements provided at a corresponding lower wing root (20) and a upper wing root (21) so that allowing lower wing (5) and upper wing (6) extending symmetrical to each other; plurality of spherical rolling elements (3) are disposed at the spherical rolling element slot (10); an alignment element(2) is positioned in coaxially with a wing pin hole (18) and linear energy storage element (4) arranged in a such manner that release the stored energy accrued during the folding of the wings and disposed around the alignment element (2) to exert a pressing force to the upper wing (6).
