Each front facing arm includes an inner segment affixed to the base and an outer segment. The vehicle also includes a rear-facing arm affixed to the base. In another implementation, a UAV includes one or more arms mounted to a base. At least one of the arms includes a first segment that is proximate to the base and a second segment that is distant from the base. A first hinge connects the first segment and the second segment. Various dimensions of the UAV are reduced when the arm(s) are folded along the first hinge.
