Coanda effectA mechanism to generate lift by using, and to cancel the torque of the propeller with external feathers.


It is possible to keep flying even if you hit an obstacle like this.


VIDAR series developed for monitoring and reconnaissance indoors and narrow places. Operation with lithium polymer battery for 15 minutes is possible. Weighing 400 g, it is possible to load 100 g payload.


ODIN is driven by a rotary engine operating with JP-8 jet fuel. It can weigh 10 kg of payload for 10 hours with a weight of 10 kg. It is operated wirelessly, it is supposed to be used for reconnaissance, communication relay, reutling attack and so on.


HODER can weigh 1.5 tons, about 1 ton of payload floating in the air for 8 hours. Currently still under development it is supposed to be used for soldiers on the front line or for long-term surveillance.
