Spektr Design Bureau is preparing domestic component production for FPV air defense drones.
MOSCOW, October 5. /TASS/. Mass production of propellers for FPV air defense drones with flight speeds exceeding 500 km/h is set to begin in Novosibirsk, Executive Director of the Spektr Design Bureau Andrey Bratenkov told TASS.
"We are preparing to launch mass production of a line of 12x12-inch and 7x12-inch propellers for FPV air defense drones in Novosibirsk. This will allow the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to reach speeds of 500 km/h. The propellers are manufactured using domestically produced plastic and nanotechnology - specifically, so-called multi-walled carbon nanotubes. All of this will enable us to create products with better technical specifications than those of leading foreign counterparts," Bratenkov stated.
According to him, a test batch of propellers has already successfully undergone testing. "The next step will be the development of domestic impellers for drones," added the executive director of the Spektr Design Bureau.
