Though, how do they control cyclic?
Is there a swashplate or something that I do not see, or is it as I assume, some kind of mechanism that allows cyclic to be controlled implicitly by motor speed? Edit: The patent apparently says they have a swashplate and cyclic control on the bottom rotor, so it's basically a model helicopter.
They can't patent the coaxial bit just by adding the 'on a UAV', so they patent their way of having the blades collapse.
