1. A hover drone system, comprising:
a hull extending from a front end to a rear end and from a first side to a second side, the hull is rigid and gradually tapers inwardly in width from the rear end to the front end, the rear end forming an opening;
a multi-copter flight controller configured to provide precise altitude of the hover drone system;
a plurality of ducted fans integrated into the hull, wherein the plurality of ducted fans provides lift and propulsion for the hover drone system, the plurality of ducted fans operated by a power source and one or more gyros;
a first sidewall extending from the first side of the hull;
a second sidewall extending from the second side of the hull; and
a flexible skirt extending from the front end of the hull and from the first sidewall to the second sidewall;
wherein the first sidewall and the second sidewall are oriented at an angle relative to each other; and
wherein the plurality of ducted fans creates a downwash of air that in turn is partially directed to the opening via the tapering of the hull.
