Foldable rotor blade assembly and aerial vehicle with a foldable rotor blade assembly

A gear assembly for use in an unmanned aerial vehicle, the unmanned aerial vehicle including a fuselage body and a foldable wing assembly coupled to the fuselage body, the foldable wing assembly positionable in a stowed position and a deployed position the foldable wing assembly including a pair of opposing wing members, the gear assembly for assembly for positioning the wing members in a stowed position and a deployed position, the gear assembly including:

• a support bracket assembly coupled to the fuselage body, the support bracket assembly including a first support bracket coupled to a second support bracket such that a cavity is defined between the first support bracket and the second support bracket;
• and
• a pair of opposing hinge members pivotably coupled to the support bracket assembly and positioned within the cavity of the support bracket assembly, each hinge member coupled to a corresponding wing member for positioning the wing members in the stowed position and the deployed position, each hinge member including a set of gear teeth extending outwardly from an arcuate radially outer surface and coupled in a meshed arrangement with a corresponding set of gear teeth of an opposing hinge member such that a movement of one hinge member causes a synchronous movement of the other hinge member.
