The created prototype can be both manned and autonomous and remotely controlled.. It can be used for police, military and rescue needs as an individual VTOL vehicle. The possibility of remote control expands the possibilities of using the motorcycle.
So, it can be used during fire fighting to place water tanks on it, which it can then dump in the right place..
In addition, the motorcycle can also be used as a freight transport.. In this mode, it can fly up to 644 kilometers at speeds up to 805 kilometers per hour with loads weighing up to 450 kilograms..
