IA-12 Stark
IA-12 STARK

APPLICATIONS

The IA-12 Stark is a Mini VTOL RPAS. Its configuration

is based on the classic helicopter concept with a main
rotor and a tail rotor to compensate for the auto-rotation
phenomena.
For propulsion, the platform is equipped with a gasoline
engine, which drives both the main and tail rotors.
The platform is typified by its compact dimensions that
allow it to be carried and operated by a single operator.
