The X-Clouduav Company has revealed a high-speed vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) attack drone called A-Hawk at the Dubai Airshow.
"The eight rotors enable the 170 Kg maximum-take-off-weight drone to achieve a top speed of 60kmph at an altitude of 3000 meters which is nearly twice of conventional VTOL drones equipped with four rotor engines," Defense World reports.
The drone, marketed by China National Aero-Technology Import & Export Corporation, can reportedly carry a payload of 65 kg and can stay in the air for 30 minutes. It can be fitted with both sensors and short-range missiles to identify and eliminate targets, the report adds.
