Izraelio kompanija Aerospace Industries pranešė apie naują kettursraigtę sistemą, pavadintą ETOP (Elektrinė kabelinė stebėjimo platforma). Keliamąją galia suteikia elektriniai varikliai. ETOP elektros tiekimui naudoja kabelį nuo žemės iki platformos. ETOP gali skristi virš stacionarios arba judančios stoties. Platforma gali palaikyti norimą aukštį neribotą laiką – tol kol bus tiekiama energija iš žemės. ETOP gali pakelti iki 20 kg naudingo svorio, bei skristi iki 100 metrų aukštyje. Masinė gamyba planuojama 2013 metais. Skirta Izraelio karinėms operacijoms miesto teritorijose.

Israel Aerospace Industries has announced new Quadrocopter. They call it ETOP (Electric Thetered Observation Platform). It is a pure electric powered, Tethered airborne platform for observation and other applications. The ETOP uses cable from the ground to feed a HAV.

The ETOP can be deployed form a static or moving ground vehicle/station. The platform is generated by electric powered propellers which can hover at a predetermined altitude above ground for long periods depending on the ground platform energy storage capability. The ETOP can carry a payload of up to 20Kg to a maximum altitude of 100m. As long ground station station has power, the quadrocopter can hover. It should be mass produced in 2013. Supposed to be used by military units in urban areas.
