Test bench for drones engines
Research Center "Institute named after N. AND. Zhukovsky "conducted test flights of the prototype of a new transport unmanned aerial vehicle (TBLA). On its basis will create a whole family of such devices, which will have different load capacities. From them they can subsequently create a unified transport network..
This was reported by the SIC press service.
The use of drones for air transportation will increase their speed and reduce costs. The use of these devices is especially beneficial for Russia, as it can be an effective solution for delivering goods to hard-to-reach areas.
The test was attended by representatives of JSC Rusprom, providing the aircraft, and the project complex “Robotic Aviation Systems” of the Zhukovsky Institute. The flight took place at the training ground, owned by the Center.
During the tests, the ability of the prototype to perform basic operations was tested. His tasks included loading in automatic mode, takeoff, movement height change, cargo delivery to the place of unloading, destination change, precise landing unloading and return to base.
Test flights are part of the creation of an unmanned aerial transport system. (BATS). In addition to unmanned vehicles, it will include transshipment points, as well as means of traffic management and traffic safety.
