Foundation «National Technology Initiative» (NTI) is going to finance the serial production of domestic vertical take-off and landing aircraft-type drones. The fund intends to invest 270 million rubles in the development of the Russian UAV developer «Ecolibri». The money will be transferred in several tranches, the first of which the company will use to accelerate the certification of the R-75 unmanned vertical take-off and landing aircraft.
Model «Р-75» with a wingspan of 5 meters, it has a flight range of 750 km and can carry up to 25 kg of payload.
