The Azimuth Research and Production Center (part of Rostec) is completing factory tests of a unique multi-purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a variable thrust vector, which was first announced in early February.
The main feature of the drone is its ability to operate in four modes: copter, airplane, helicopter, and VTOL.
While the prototype is at the TRL5 technology readiness level, the cost of the finished device is promised to be between 300 and 500 thousand rubles.
The fuselage of the new product is completely printed on a 3D printer, allowing it to be adapted to specific tasks, from monitoring fields to delivering medicines. The main technical advantage of the UAV is the ability to perform high-energy maneuvering with overloads of more than 10 - 15 g with the implementation of minimum turn radii due to the thrust vectoring system.
Tactical and technical parameters:
- Takeoff weight — 8 kg
- Empty weight — 3.5 kg
- Payload — 3 kg
- Dynamic ceiling — up to 2 km
- Cruising speed — up to 150 km/h (maximum, presumably, can reach 200-230 km/h)
Earlier www1.ru reported that details about the new Russian ballistic missile have emerged.
