A tilt-rotor aircraft uses a pair or more of powered rotors, sometimes called proprotors, mounted on rotating shafts or nacelles at the end of a fixed wing for lift and propulsion.

It combines the vertical lift capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a conventional fixed-wing aircraft.

The UAV weighs 4kg, and has a quiet propulsion system, a range of about 4km and the ability to fly at speeds of up to 35kt, according to the Jerusalem Post.
