The Moscow Aviation Institute has presented a multi-rotor drone capable of staying in the air for an unlimited time. This was reported by the university's press service.
The new drone is designed for monitoring restricted access facilities. There are no complete analogues of this device in the country.
The drone is designed as a classic quadcopter with four propellers and a signal receiving and transmitting system. It is equipped with landing gear struts for soft landing and an advanced cooling system to protect its internal components from overheating. The main advantage of the drone is the connected cable. This design provides constant power and allows it to hover in the air indefinitely.
The drone only needs a standard 220 V power supply to operate, and the cable length can be adjusted up to 100 meters. This ensures freedom of movement within a given space. All working electronics are located on board. This prevents signal loss.
Due to its connection to the ground, the drone is not considered a full-fledged aircraft, which allows it to be used in areas where flights are prohibited. The device has already been tested. Specialists plan to refine the software. This will allow the drone to perform autonomous flights along complex routes, bypass obstacles, and process data on board.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Varan-3 vertical take-off and landing drone was presented at CIPR-2025.
