«INDELA SKY LAB» flying laboratory makes it possible to carry out flight tests of all types of aircraft nods and blocks in the following directions:

- flight tests to evaluate aerodynamic, strength, vibroacoustic and operation characteristics at all flight stages, including critical modes;

- flight tests with regard to development of algorithms of software and equipment of on-board control complexes;

- flight tests of systems on prevention of critical flight modes;

Such unique flight characteristics of «INDELA SKY LAB» unmanned helicopter as: possibility to hover, perform vertical takeoff and landing and to perform mechanical translations in any direction have from the very beginning resulted in the idea of utilizing the helicopter as an aircraft test bed.
