planes that can fly through windows.
Israel Aircraft Industries on Thursday unveiled two drone planes so small they can fly through windows.
The Mosquito 1 and Mosquito 1.5 micro drones have a wingspan of 33 centimeters and weigh 250 grams and half a kilogram, respectively. They can be operated from a distance of 1,000 to 1,600 meters.
The two drones are equipped with cameras that can transmit high-quality images taken while in flight during daylight hours.
The speed of the smaller model is 15-20 meters per second. They can fly at an altitude of about 100 meters and remain airborne for up to an hour.
Their small size allows them to fly through windows and to provide images to military units behind it.
The two models, developed by IAI’s engineering division, headed by Zvi Artzi, were on display Thursday at the 1st International Conference of Low Intensity Conflict Warfare in Tel Aviv.
