2022: D-20K
On September 19, 2022, Aeromax announced the completion of flight tests of the first Russian civilian tiltrotor. The model of the aircraft D-20K combines the functionality of the aircraft and the helicopter: the device can carry out long-range flights at high speed and is capable of vertical take-off and landing. D-20K is equipped with an internal engine combustion and has a maximum takeoff weight of 29 kg. It is planned to be used for aviation work in places where there are no prepared airfield sites.
According to the company, D-20K is a modified version drone of the D-20 aircraft type, which has been used for aerial photography and monitoring missions for different industries economies for the past two years. These design solutions have been developed jointly with DIAM-AERO (part of the Aeromax group of companies). The aerodynamic scheme of the aircraft expands the possibilities of using light drones in hard-to-reach and unprepared territories.
Vertical takeoff and landing were made possible by four electric motors. Further, the internal combustion engine with a pushing propeller is activated, which provides horizontal flight at a distance of up to 800 km with a maximum speed of 144 km/h and a flight duration of up to 11 hours. During this time, the drone is capable of carrying a target load weighing up to 1.5 kg. The maximum payload weight can reach 5 kg. The maximum flight altitude is 4 thousand meters. Due to the autonomy of the engines, the D-20K is effective for aerial surveying and monitoring missions in vast areas. The main purpose of the vessel is to perform photo, video, thermal imaging and multispectral shooting and aerial laser scanning for the needs of the energy industry, forestry and agriculture.
The drone has optimal performance and important functionality to operate in vast areas of the country. At the same time, it mainly consists of domestic components - the vessel is fully designed and manufactured at the enterprises included in the Aeromax group of companies. Test flights have ended, and now we are ready for serial production of Russian tiltrotors. noted in the press service "Aeromax" |
