Engine compatibility
At first, the company planned to integrate the Russian VK-650 engine, but the company decided to expand compatibility with other models such as Rolls-Royce 250-C20, 250-C30, 250-C47. According to UAVHELI, this flexibility facilitates SKY-TRUCK’s entry into the international market and enables adaptation to the needs of various customers and regions.
From the oil drilling platform to the logistics mission
SKY-TRUCK was originally designed to supply supplies to the offshore oil drilling platform. In the development process, however, engineers expanded their functions and transformed them into a multi -purpose aircraft that could perform various cargo transportation missions on land and sea.
As the flight test is completed, Belarus is trying to secure its position in the rapidly growing medium -sized medium -sized unmanned aircraft.
