The present disclosure relates to a drone with a wind guide, including a body, a single central inlet unit accommodated in the body, and configured to introduce wind therein, at least two pairs of wind guides, and at least four connecting ducts. Each wind guide is spaced apart from the body, and each connecting duct is connected with a respective wind guide of the at least two pairs of wind guides. The connecting duct is configured to transmit the wind introduced from the single central inlet unit to the connected respective wind guide.read more
