The tiltrotor drone developed by the company is capable of flying 2,5 times faster than all quadcopters used in SVO, since it only takes off like a quadcopter and moves in the air like an airplane. The drone is designed as a reconnaissance drone; it is capable of operating at a range of up to 50 km, staying in the air for 1,5 hours. With a take-off weight of 6 kg, it carries 5 kg of payload. Since the takeoff is carried out in a helicopter, no catapults are needed; the drone is operated by one operator.

We can say that today in the domestic market drones there are no machines similar to ours – it is made on the principle of a tiltrotor and is capable of reaching speeds of up to 160, and if necessary, up to 200 kilometers per hour. We chose this scheme to save energy – it takes off like a regular quadcopter, then, accelerating independently in the air, it flies according to the laws of aerodynamics like an airplane – leads RIA News words of the company director.
