The advantages of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), such as small size, absence of a pilot, multifunctionality, comparatively low cost, etc., necessary for air reconnaissance problem solving and aerial inspection are evident. This circumstance defined the rapid development of the specific branch of aircraft construction over the past decades. The designed UAV is peculiar due to its high construction manufacturability, reliability, high aircraft performance and operational parameters. At present an experimental model of UAV is passing flight tests.
