Russian drone "Corus" passed flight tests: the engine from the United States did not let him down

The Partisan drone has increased runway. This was achieved by the American engine and non -standard aerodynamics. The UAV built in Russia on the basis of the aircraft-"corn" An-2, passed the flight tests, after which new details about it became known, writes the newspaper "War Observer". As the focus has already reported, a drone, called "Partisan", is, in fact, a plane of the TVS-2 DTS (analogue of "Corus" An-2), but non-exep.

The biplane is made of composite materials, has a slightly elongated fuselage, which contains the motor, a pilot cabin and a passenger. Its upper wings are connected to the lower wide racks, and the tail plumage was left unchanged. The drone is the power plant production-Honeywell TPE331-12uan. The power of this engine is 1100 hp. The design also includes a 5-bladed 5-blade screw from the American company Hartzell Propeller.

There is also another motor installation that drives 8 electric motors with screws located on the lower wings. Honeywell TPE331-12uan creates a thrust and drives UAVs, and electric motors that blow the lower plane of the device increase the efficiency of its aerodynamics. Also, thanks to additional screws, the drone can fly at low speed, without losing resistance, it sits and flies more confidently. Moreover, he does not need the runway-enough 50 m.

Despite the fact that UAVs can be controlled by a pilot, it has an automatic control system. It allows you to control the drone with a remote control. The developers claim that the guerrillas will carry passengers, cargo, participate in search and rescue operations and will be operated by the agricultural sector. The publication emphasizes that the drone-"corn" has not yet passed all the necessary inspections, so it is likely that the car will be refined.
