Israel's latest UAV is on track for market entry soon. The new
helicopter, called the Steadicopter, offers new military and rescue
capabilities. However development of the Steadicopter was slowed
down due to the suspicious disappearance of the Steadicopter
prototype last month.
The Steadicopter, which weighs 30 pounds and is five feet long, had
just completed its final test flights according to CEO Tuvia Segal.
He said the helicopter was unique in that it was capable of
independent flying without remote control. "Many companies have
tried but none of their tests worked," he told Globes.
