Drogo Aerospace's JK 250e UAV Receives DGCA Type Certification for Training
Drogo Aerospace's JK 250e fixed-wing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has received type certification from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). Designed for the Indian armed forces' intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance needs, the UAV combines fixed-wing efficiency with VTOL capability, allowing operations without a runway. With an endurance of two to three hours, it supports sustained surveillance and operator training. This certification marks a milestone for indigenous UAV development, with the JK 250e being the only hybrid fixed-wing and multirotor UAV certified for training in India.
