Unmanned aerial vehicle

1. A hybrid aerial vehicle (HAV) comprising:

a fuselage of the HAV having;

a first mechanism within the fuselage for accepting a plurality of wings of the HAV, the first mechanism allowing (a) coordinated contraction of the plurality of wings essentially into the fuselage such that tips of the wings are positioned in proximity of the fuselage and (b) coordinated extension of the wings such that tips of each wing are positioned away from the fuselage;

a first wing extending from the port side of the fuselage and connected to the first mechanism;

a second wing extending from the starboard side of the fuselage and connected to the first mechanism;

a second mechanism placed within the fuselage in proximity to its front end, the second mechanism allowing motion of propellers of the HAV affixed there to between a first plane and a second plane;

a first set of propellers affixed at the port side of the fuselage to the second mechanism;

a second set of propellers affixed at the starboard side of the fuselage to the second mechanism;

a third mechanism placed within the fuselage in proximity to its rear end, the third mechanism allowing motion of propellers of the HAV affixed there to between a first plane and a second plane, and further placing the propellers affixed thereto to be at a vertical displacement with respect to the propellers affixed to the second mechanism;

a third set of propellers affixed at the port side of the fuselage to the third mechanism; and

a fourth set of propellers affixed at the starboard side of the fuselage to the third mechanism.

2. The hybrid aerial vehicle of claim 1 , comprising a mechanism adapted to move the wings, such that they do not interfere with the operation of the propellers.

3. A mechanism for moving the wings of a hybrid aerial vehicle from a folded position to an extended position, and for folding said wings when in extended position, comprising:

a) two wings, each provided with a teethed gear connected thereto at the end proximal to the mechanism, wherein one of said wings is elevatable when rotating around the axis of its teethed gear;

b) a motor provided with a shaft rotatable thereby;

c) engagement teeth provided at the distal end of said shaft or close thereto, adapted to engage the gears of said wings; and

d) a screw or the like extended shaft, provided with a spiral groove, in contact with the elevatable wing;

whereby the rotation of the motor shaft elevates the elevatable wing to a plane higher than that of the open position, while concurrently moving both wings one toward the other to a folded position.

4. The mechanism of claim 3 , which is adapted to operate when the hybrid aerial vehicle is airborne.

5. The mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the two wings are located on the same plane when in extended position.

6. The mechanism of claim 3 , wherein the screw or the like extended shaft is provided with a gear positioned thereon.

7. The mechanism of claim 6 , wherein the gear comprises a cogwheel.
