The Moscow Aviation Institute has presented a multirotor drone capable of staying in the air for an unlimited amount of time. This was reported by the press service of the university.
The new drone is designed to monitor restricted access facilities. There are no complete analogues of this device in the country.
The drone is made in the form of a classic quadcopter with four propellers and a signal receiving and transmitting system. It is equipped with a chassis on 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 solution provides constant power and allows you to hover in the air indefinitely.
A regular 220 V network is sufficient for the drone to operate, and the cable length can be adjusted up to 100 meters. This ensures freedom of movement in a given space. All working electronics are located on board. This avoids signal loss.
Thanks to the 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. Experts plan to refine the software. This will allow the drone to perform autonomous flights along complex routes, fly around 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.
