The VTOL UAV of the “Archytas” program is based on a fixed-wing platform of the large-scale tactical UAV class.
As announced by the EAB, the configuration of the UAV’s fuselage and its propulsion has been completed to date.
Also, internal placement of electronics, payload, fuel tank, VTOL auxiliary systems, etc. has been done.
The design is expected to be completed in November, while the construction of the first experimental model will begin in December.
The implementation of the program is expected in about a year and a half.
For its construction, EAB collaborates with three universities, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, the Democritus University of Thrace and the University of Thessaly.
