Disclosed herein are aspects of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). In one embodiment, the UAV includes a container body having a cargo bay configured to hold cargo, and a plurality of rotor assemblies coupled to the container body. Each rotor assembly is configured to provide the container body with propulsion. A control system may be held by the container body and operatively connected to the rotor assemblies. The control system may be configured to fly the container body to a destination. The rotor assemblies may be moveable between a flight configuration and a shipping configuration. In the flight configuration, the rotor assemblies may extend outward from the container body such that the rotor assemblies are positioned to propel the container body through the air. In the shipping configuration, the rotor assemblies may be folded to the container body such that the container body is configured to be shipped to a destination.
