An unmanned aerial vehicle has a flight mode and a compact storage mode. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes an airframe having first and second wings with first and second pylons extending therebetween. A thrust array is coupled to the airframe including two propulsion assemblies coupled to each of the first and second wings. An electric power system is operably associated with the thrust array and operable to provide power to each propulsion assembly. A flight control system is operably associated with the thrust array and operable to independently control the speed of each propulsion assembly. In the flight mode, the first and second wings are substantially parallel with the vertical dimension therebetween at a maximum. In the compact storage mode, the first and second pylons are rotated relative to the first and second wings such that the vertical dimension between the first and second wings is at a minimum.
