In recent years, drones are used reconnaissance tasks in dangerous places where people cannot enter. Drones are also used in spaces where it is difficult for people to work directly, such as checking the exterior walls of buildings and piping inside the building. However, there are problems that the posture becomes unstable due to the air current emitted by itself in the vicinity of a structure such as a wall and the rotor rotates at high speed, causing breakage. In this paper, we propose a drone with a small-sized contra-rotating tilt rotor covered with a revolvable spherical exterior as a protection of the rotor to secure safety of surrounding people and rolling wheel to move on the ground. Development of a prototype and operation test are shown.
