Russian developers have successfully tested the Vezdelet-Mayakovsky drone for cargo delivery up to 50 kg. socialbites.ca was told about this by the press service of the National Technology Initiative (NTI).
During the bench and full-scale tests program, the prototype’s automatic control system and its ability to take off and land autonomously were successfully tested. Experts also successfully tested its ability to fly in difficult weather conditions.
In the future, on the basis of a proven multi-rotor type vehicle, a tiltrotor “Vezdelet” will be created, capable of reaching speeds of over 150 kilometers per hour and carrying up to 50 kilograms of cargo. In fully loaded condition, the flight duration is at least one and a half hours and the maximum flight altitude is four thousand meters.
Convertibles are a special class of aviation equipment that is a hybrid of an unmanned aerial vehicle and a helicopter. It can take off and land vertically like a helicopter, and its airplane mode allows cargo to be transported at higher speeds and farther distances than traditional helicopter technology.
“One of the most important features of the device will be the variable wing geometry, which increases the level of flight safety when operating the device during takeoff and landing. The device will take off and land with a multi-rotor folded wing, which will avoid the harmful effects of side winds, open the wing and fly like an airplane, Mikhail Lipatov, general director of the manufacturing company M-Industries, told Gazeta. .Ru.
It was previously reported that he was in Russia. developing Ultra-sensitive system that detects seismic vibrations.
