The Hybrid Quadrotor is specially designed to have the best of both, the traditional plane’s speed and long range, and to take off and land vertically.
It looks like a traditional drone with additional four blades mounted on top.
The unmanned Quadrotor is expected to come with a price from $25,000 up to $55,000 for the larger model.
The US Navy soon will start testing it.
