Zitat:Clandestine U.K. Program Developed 3D-Printed ‘Suicide’ Drone For Ukrainehttps://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/cl...or-ukraine
The delta-wing drone was just one result of a rapid U.K. development program intended to prove systems for potential use by Ukraine. [...]
While it’s unclear which of any of the unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in question were ultimately selected for supply to Ukraine, it’s obvious that a range of different capabilities was explored in the process, including surveillance drones and, most intriguingly, what is described as a “3D-printed delta-wing ‘suicide’ drone.” Some details of the rapid development program were recently revealed by QinetiQ, the U.K.-based defense technology company that works closely with the U.K. Ministry of Defense, especially on experimental projects and novel technologies. [...] A statement from QinetiQ doesn’t confirm when the program actually took place, while an uncaptioned accompanying photo (also seen at the top of this story) shows a small drone with swept wing and tail fin, apparently powered by a pair of micro-turbine engines, and possibly 3D-printed.
