Autonomous Logistics / Cargo Transport
Also known as: Sukhoi S-76 / S-76 cargo UAV / Russian unmanned cargo aircraft
S-76 overview
S-76 is a Russian vertical-takeoff unmanned cargo-aircraft concept associated with Sukhoi and the United Aircraft Corporation. It is intended to move supplies where a conventional runway is unavailable or exposed, complementing rather than replacing armed reconnaissance UAVs.
Public descriptions and displays depict a box-like cargo fuselage with distributed lift propulsion and a separate forward-flight system. Payload, dimensions, speed, range, endurance, ceiling, autonomy architecture, and loading method are Not publicly disclosed in a complete verified specification.
Russia has presented S-76 as part of broader unmanned logistics and autonomous-transport work, but public evidence does not establish serial production, routine military operation, or a finalized configuration. Demonstration claims should be separated from confirmed service capability.
Through September 2026, S-76 remains a reported Russian unmanned cargo-aircraft project with military logistics potential. The supplied illustration is interpretative catalog art and is not evidence of rotor count, cargo capacity, or flight performance.
