Since the second bevel gear 24 is meshed with the first bevel gear 26 and the second bevel gear 28 at the same time, when the second bevel gear 24 drives the rotating rod 25 to drive the upper rotor 8 to rotate clockwise, it also drives the sleeve 27 to rotate counterclockwise on the outer surface of the rotating rod 25, driving the upper rotor 8 to rotate counterclockwise. In this way, the takeoff of the drone is realized.
