Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for transformation of a UAV from an extended state to a compacted state. The UAV can be transported in the compacted state. The UAV can comprise one or more segmented arms that can be folded to reduce the volume of the UAV. The segmented arms can be sealed to prevent ambient air, dirt, and or water vapor from entering the segmented arm. The UAV can comprise a cooling and air filtering system on-board the UAV.
