Apparently we should call them quadpters because it's based on helicopter for which the ethymology is not heli + copter, but helico + pter, like in helicoidal and pterodactyl.

Or tetrapter, to stick with Greek roots (though I'm personally fine with heteroradicalism!)

From now on, I'm shall call them "spinning dinosaurs"!

"Hey mister! Is that your drone?" "No kid, it's not a drone, it's a spinning dinosaur..."
