For the first time in the country graduates of Mashhad Aviation Sciences University succeeded to design and produce the vertical take off and landing (VTOL) drones which has twice capacity as the foreign models, IRNA reported.
The Iranian drones are called 'Karrar 110' and can be used for defense, tourism, forestry, fire extinguishing and agricultural purposes.
The designing of the underneath the plane is such that it reduces its adherence to water to minimum so enabling it to land on water surface and directly take off from water's surface.
A graduate of Mashhad Aviation Sciences University and co-designer of the airplane, Mohammad Reza Marvi, said that the capacity of the aircraft manufactured by the Iranian graduates is twice that of the American model called Lerjet-65.
