Flying Wedge Defense & Aerospace Technologies, a leading player in the Indian defense industry, is set to make history tomorrow, September 3, 2024. The company will host an exclusive press conference at Fortune Park JP hotel to unveil India’s first indigenous unmanned bomber aircraft, the FWD 200B.
The event will feature a video screening of the FWD 200B’s maiden flight, marking a significant milestone in India’s unmanned defense technology landscape. This achievement solidifies India’s position as a global leader in advanced defense solutions.
While the company has previously showcased a scale model of the FWD 200B, there have been noticeable changes in the design and propulsion system. The latest model, which will be on display at the press conference, features two propeller engines, instead of four a significant departure from the earlier design. This suggests that the company has made substantial advancements in the development of the FWD 200B since its initial public presentation.
The FWD 200B is expected to provide India with a crucial strategic asset, offering long-range strike capabilities and the ability to operate in high-risk environments without endangering human lives. As the country continues to invest in indigenous defense technologies, the FWD 200B represents a major step forward in achieving self-reliance and technological supremacy.
