ZALA Aero hybrid-power Drone: Kalashnikov image
Russia’s ZALA Aero (Kalashnikov Group Subsidiary) today unveiled three new small drones- a tilt-rotor, a hybrid engine 12-hour endurance drone and a quadcopter at the ZALA EXPO exhibition in Moscow.
The first is the ZALA 421-24 of a quadrocopter type. The device has a compact foldable design and is able to remain invisible in the air due to its low acoustic and visual signature. The device is controlled by a hand-held controller and can be operated from a mobile vehicle.
The second is a tilt-rotor ZALA VTOL. It combines the best qualities of an aircraft-type drone and a tilt-rotor, and also has the ability to change the configuration depending upon the task being performed.
