Among other things, in the exposition of V.V. Putin was shown a model developed by the Russian company TGE Group (St. Petersburg, specializing in the production of power supplies, electric motors and power electronics) of an unmanned multi-purpose tiltrotor with a hybrid power plant.

"Due to this aircraft, we can solve, for example, the problem of regional air transportation, that is, this device flies to where there is no expensive infrastructure, where there are no airdromes, where helicopters do not fly and where the plane cannot land ” - said the president of TGE Ilya Rashkin.

A rotary-wing with four rotary propellers driven by electric motors is offered for civilian and military purposes, including ship-based. A flight range of up to 2000 km at a speed of up to 500 km / h is claimed.
