Research and development of quadrotors represent novel and rather propulsive discipline. A lot of innovations constantly enlarge set of characteristics of available quadrotors. In this article we argue about two characteristics of quadrotors which are virtually taken for granted. First characteristic is their drive, which is nowadays as a rule completely electric. Second characteristic is prevalent considering a sole quadrotor as a unity. Regarding the former, we present an alternative way to realize drive of a quadrotor as a combination of an internal combustion engine and a hydraulic system. Regarding the later we present one possibility to utilize a cooperative effect.
