Abstract
An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) according to various embodiments may include: a housing; a motor arranged in an inner space of the housing; a rotor which is rotated by the motor and includes at least one cam structure; and at least one landing member which serves as at least part of the housing and selectively protrudes from the housing depending on interference of the cam structure. An UAV according to various embodiments may include: a housing; at least one rotor blade arranged in an inner space of the housing; and at least one landing member. The at least one landing member may serve as part of the housing in a closed position and protrudes from the housing in an open position such that a load of the UAV can be supported during landing.
