The UAV is supposed to be developed on the basis of a "coaxial scheme similar to the Ka-226", the modular design of which allows it to be done quickly enough, said Oleg Landin, Director of Marketing and Business Development of Russian Helicopters JSC
ZHUKOVSKY /Moscow region/, July 25. /TASS/. The Russian Helicopters holding company of the Rostec state Corporation is considering the possibility of creating a version of the Ka-226 helicopter with an optional control system that allows you to fly without the participation of a pilot. This was announced to TASS by Oleg Landin, Director of Marketing and Business Development of JSC "Russian Helicopters".
"We will probably develop a drone for 1 thousand kg on the basis of a coaxial scheme by analogy with the Ka-226, whose modular design allows us to do this quite quickly, in our opinion," he said.
