Cummings Aerospace and ATRX have signed a cooperation agreement in the framework of a project aimed at integrating a high -speed turbouoable engine into a proven glumer in order to develop an affordable unmanned aircraft capable of flying at supersonic and hypersonic speeds. They intend to give the US armed forces available at the price of UAVs, which will allow the country to increase their stock of hypersonic drones.
As part of this project, the Cummings Aerospace will present the family of hellhound unmanned aerial vehicles. Hellhound is a versatile drone with many modifications. The companies recently conducted a test of the Hellhound S3 version. It flew at a speed of more than 563 km/h, overcoming a distance of 20 km, and using 50% of fuel. The modular design of Hellhound, made with a 3D printing, makes it a stable, accessible, multi-purpose tool that can be scaled according to the needs of the client.
ATRX will present Air Turbo (ATR) for the project. It is a high-speed air-reactive motor installation capable of flying at a speed that is 5 times higher than the speed of sound, according to the company. The test of the ATR motor system, which has a fuel consumption of about 25% compared to a rocket similar, has recently been completed. Earlier, we wrote that UKRSPECSYSTEMS first introduced the SHARK reconnaissance drone in 2022, its development began during a full -scale invasion of Ukraine.
