Star-X Alastor F50-335 Long-range delta-wing UAV for reconnaissance and target missions
Star-X Alastor F50-335

The Star-X Alastor F50-335 is a long-range delta-wing UAV developed for tactical reconnaissance and target missions. Its composite and aluminum-alloy airframe supports a maximum takeoff weight of 230 kg and payloads up to 50 kg, while a 568 cc, two-stroke piston engine provides up to 38 kW. The aircraft is specified for flights reaching 2,000 km, endurance up to 10 hours, cruise speeds of 180–200 km/h, and speeds up to 250 km/h. Rocket-assisted takeoff enables deployment without a conventional runway, with a stated preparation time of 15 minutes.

The F50-335 combines integrated navigation with anti-jamming GNSS capabilities, scene matching, and an 80 km telemetry-control radius. Its modular payload architecture accommodates mission-specific equipment, including seeker and warhead options, while one-touch takeoff and autonomous flight functions support streamlined operation. The wider system incorporates airborne and ground data links, ground-control equipment, transportation hardware, and booster-launch equipment. The UAV is rated for operation from -25 to 65°C and at elevations up to 4,500 m, providing a configurable uncrewed platform for extended-range missions.
