BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 30. "BORAN", a new multirotor-type unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) developed entirely by Azerbaijani engineers using domestic capabilities, ranging from its algorithms to its electronics, has been demonstrated at the ADEX-2026 exhibition, Trend's correspondent reports from the event.
The presented "BORAN" UAV has a maximum takeoff weight of 90 kg and a payload capacity of 30 kg.
The device is capable of continuous flight for 40 minutes with a 20 kg payload. It has an operational range of 30 km, and its flight speed varies between 5 and 15 meters per second.
