A multi-monocopter system is provided, including a plurality of monocopters. Each monocopter includes: a flight controller, disposed on a housing member, operable to control a flight of the monocopter in an individual flight mode and a flight of the plurality of monocopters collectively in a cooperative flight mode; a wing member; a thrust unit; and a magnetic connector coupled to the housing member. The magnetic connector is configured to be connectable to corresponding magnetic connectors of other monocopters of the plurality of monocopters via a magnetic force to operate in the cooperative flight mode. When in the cooperative flight mode during flight, the flight controller is operable to control a rotational speed of the plurality of monocopters collectively to produce a centrifugal force that exceeds the magnetic force for separating the plurality of monocopters connected via the magnetic force to convert the cooperative flight mode to the individual flight mode.
