The present invention relates to a remotely controlled wireless drone which employs a solid fuel rocket engine to propel it quickly to a desired or location. More specifically, the invention may comprise an unmanned vehicle including a fuselage and a propulsion unit engaged with the fuselage, the propulsion unit being operable to bring the unmanned vehicle to a desired altitude or location, generally during a launch stage. The fuselage also includes multiple rotors pivotally engaged with the fuselage and a rotor positioning system operable to pivot the multiple rotors between stowed and deployed positions. The stowed position of the propellers minimizes drag and instability during the launch stage, and the deployed position allows the multiple rotors to control the position and altitude of the unmanned vehicle after the fuel of the rocket engine is spent.
