Evgeny Rubtsov, Chief Designer of UAVs at the Sukhoi Design Bureau, shared information on the development of the promising C-76 off-airfield-based transport drone program in Russia at the Innoprom exhibition.
According to Rubtsov, the traditional way of delivering goods to remote settlements today is winter delivery or the use of heavy helicopter equipment, which provides transportation of up to three tons of cargo at a time. Here we offer an innovative solution.
We ensure that our aircraft is based on the same airfields as helicopters, while providing more economical cargo delivery.
It is known that the C-76 has a length of 7.2 m, a wingspan of 11 m, a maximum flight altitude of 4000 m, and a cruising speed of 180 km/h. It will be designed to carry cargo weighing up to 300 kg over a distance of up to 1000 km.
