<p>LIG Nex1 has displayed a model of its new Multi-Purpose Unmanned Helicopter (MPUH) at the MADEX 2023 exhibition in Busan.</p>
<p>The South Korean firm said the vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has a length of 3.5 m and an operating range of more than 50 km. It has a maximum take-off weight of 200 kg with a payload of 60 kg.</p>
<p>The MPUH is fitted with an electro-optic/infrared pod and a front-facing camera for reconnaissance. It has a service ceiling of 2,500 m and a maximum speed of 140 km/h. The aircraft has an endurance of six hours.</p>
<p>LIG Nex1 said the small and compact design of the MPUH enables the aircraft to be launched from small landing pads. The aircraft is powered by a 60 hp engine built by Austrian firm Austro, although the specific type has not been disclosed.</p>
<p>
The company said the MPUH is designed for missions including transport, reconnaissance, and surveillance.
