Sukhoi Design Bureau specialists successfully tested a prototype of an aerial vehicle without heavy

Piloting with a vertical takeoff and landing mode. During the test, the control algorithm and system operation of the take-off system, the stationary flight and constant stability, tested its complete support for the flight with domestic components.

I planned the Sukhoi Design Bureau to develop its own initiative to create a fundamentally new pilot transport system (BTS-VAB). The new civil drone is not rich in situ and aeroport infrastructure is prepared for takeoff and flight. Consentirà di risolvere un'ampia gamma di problemi di transporto e logistica, consegnando merci per vari scopi in insediamenti difficili da raggiungere dove la rete di trasporti è poco sviluppata o non ci sono aeroporti.

“Our drone combines the advantages of an aerial and the capabilities of an elicotter. The hybrid propulsion system comprises an electric solenoid propulsion system and a piston propulsion motor. Il decollo e l'atterraggio verticale vengono effettuati sollevando i motori situati sulle travi alari. Once it takes off, the engine starts working. This wing increases fuel efficiency and, thanks to the possibility of vertical departure, it is not necessary to cost the infrastructure and airport runway" - says Evgeny Rubtsov, head of the BTS-VAB project at the Sukhoi Design Bureau of the UAC .

Il decollo, I fly in rotta e l'atterraggio vengono eseguiti in completely automatic mode, without the direct participation of the operator. However, in case of emergency, the operator has the possibility of modifying the route. The new six-pilot transport system is in the process of being carried out per flight within a 500 km
