A multi-monocopter system is provided, including a plurality of monocopters operable cooperatively in a cooperative flight mode and operable individually in an individual flight mode. Each monocopter includes: a housing member having disposed thereon a flight controller operable to control a flight of the monocopter in the individual flight mode and a flight of the plurality of monocopters collectively in the cooperative flight mode; a wing member coupled to the housing member so as to extend from a first side thereof; a thrust unit coupled to a leading edge of the wing member; and a magnetic connector coupled to the housing member so as to extend from a second side thereof, the second side being at least substantially opposite to the first side of the housing member. The magnetic connector is configured to be connectable to one or more corresponding magnetic connectors of other one or more monocopters of the plurality of monocopters via a magnetic force to operate cooperatively in the cooperative flight mode. In particular, when the plurality of monocopters are operating cooperatively 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 exceed the magnetic force for separating the plurality of monocopters connected via the magnetic force so as to convert the cooperative flight mode to the individual flight mode.
