One embodiment is an aircraft including a main body, a plurality of propulsion assemblies, and a plurality of hinges, wherein each of the plurality of propulsion assemblies is rotatably coupled to the main body using a hinge from the plurality of hinges. In an example, the aircraft includes four motor support arms and each motor support arm rotatably couples a specific propulsion assembly to a specific corresponding hinge on the main body of the aircraft and increases a span of the aircraft when the aircraft is in the flight configuration and reduces the footprint of the aircraft when the aircraft is in a storage configuration.
