Specialists of the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute named after Zhukovsky (TsAGI) have successfully tested the "Vezdelet-Mayakovsky" multirotor drone for delivering cargo weighing up to 50 kg, according to the NTI.
Engineers conducted bench and field tests, demonstrating the operation of the automatic control system and the possibility of takeoff and landing in autonomous mode. In addition, they checked how the UAV flies in bad weather.
It is expected that the "Vezdelet" tiltrotor will be created on the basis of "Vezdelet-Mayakovsky". It will be able to reach speeds of over 150 km/h. At the same time, the flight duration with a load of 50 kg will be at least 1.5 hours, and the flight altitude will be 4 km.
According to the head of the manufacturing company "M-Industries", Mikhail Lipatov, a unique feature of the tiltrotor is the geometry of its wing.
The UAV will take off and land with its wings folded, which will avoid the effects of crosswinds, and unfold its wings during flight
Tiltrotors are a hybrid of a drone and an airplane. They have vertical takeoff and landing, and in airplane mode they will be able to carry large cargo over long distances.
