Systems and methods that facilitate a quadrotor drone with an improved thrust to weight ratio. The quadrotor drone includes an assembly of vertically oriented arms, i.e., the length and thickness of the arms extend along x and y axes forming faces along the arms generally in an x-y plane and generally facing a direction parallel to an axis of each of the motors, while the width extends along the z axis form forming faces along the arms generally in an x-z and y-z planes and generally facing directions orthogonal to an axis of each of the motors. The arms are preferably formed from a material comprising a continuous fiber from end to end such as, e.g., a carbon fiber material. The arms are mechanically inter-locked at the center of the arms with the longitudinal axes of the arms crossing one another.
