Experimental multipurpose VTOL/V-STOL fixed-wing turbojet UAV by the INDELA design laboratory (Minsk); the Shtil-3 sample was presented at MAKS-2005. A small ~24 kg aircraft using three turbojet engines (two tilting main turbines plus a hover pilot engine) with a radio-transparent airframe; performs vertical takeoff/landing and high-speed horizontal flight.
