Very clever concept! Curious if you can now scale it to carry some payload. Reminds me of a story where drones deliver medicines / food to remote locations. And a drone with single motor is cost effective that can be used in low income provinces with no connectivity.

Payload attachment is hard on these. The COG is crucial with respect to maintaining control, you want it to be roughly between the battery and the rotor plane and as high as possible on the drone. So if you add a payload then you are immediately shifting that COG outside of the range were you have good control.
