Does a baseball move out of the way of the swinging bat? There might be some small effect, but it's not the dominant one. In this scenario the wing is just a slightly bigger bat, and the drone is a slightly bigger ball. It would of course take a very (un)lucky strike to collide dead on like this, but not that unreasonable. I do hope they test indirect strikes too though.
