NIK Company presented the GY-500 unmanned gyroplane at the Congress of Young Scientists in Sirius. It is designed to perform a wide range of tasks, including the rapid delivery of goods weighing up to 200 kg over a distance of up to 400 km.
A gyroplane is a rotorcraft resembling a helicopter that generates lift using a rotor. Unlike a traditional helicopter, its rotor rotates due to the incoming airflow, not from the engine.
The prototype device has already been tested in real conditions. The GY-500 has unique features: it can be based both at airfields and outside them, and can also perform transport tasks using interchangeable modules, both in land and water versions.
Among its key competitive advantages are a payload capacity of 200 kg and the ability to jump take-off from unprepared sites.
GY-500 characteristics: flight range: 1500 km, maximum speed: 160 km/h.
"Perviy Tekhnicheskiy" is the industry information partner of the V Congress of Young Scientists, which takes place from November 26 to 28, 2025 on the federal territory of "Sirius". This is the central event of the Decade of Science and Technology in Russia.
