The present disclosure provides a deployment mechanism for arms of a drone. This mechanism is particularly of relevance to a drone that is housed in a container and is configured to be launched therefrom, and therefore is required to have an efficient deployment mechanism for its arms to be deployed immediately after the launch. The deployment mechanism is biased to its deployed state and is retained in its non-deployed state by external forces, such as the normal forces that are applied by the walls of the container on the arms while the drone is housed within the container. After the launch from the container, the above-mentioned forces are no longer applied to the arms of the drone and the deployment mechanism, causing a transition of the arms from their non-deployed state to their deployed state, in which they are in a position suitable for flying, i.e. activation of the rotors mounted on the arms.
