The Azimuth Scientific and Technical Center (part of Rostec) has begun testing a new universal vertical take-off and landing drone with a single engine. This was announced by the company's CEO, Alexey Shapkin.
The platform can be used in various fields - from logistics to agriculture.
This is a new platform with a single engine, which, due to the variable thrust vector, can perform the same tasks as a copter, an airplane, a VTOL, or a helicopter. The current version can be used for stable lifting and transporting 3 kg.
A key feature of the new device is its adaptation to any task thanks to the fuselage, which was created on a completely 3D printer. This reduces the time for production and modification of the drone.
It has a completely universal design, that is, it can be a copter, a plane, or a helicopter. No one in the world has done this before. In addition, it can take off vertically with one engine and continue flying horizontally.
Earlier,www1.ru reported that the "Arkhangel" interceptor dronepassed tests in Crimea.
