Dufour Aerospace specializes in the development of environmentally friendly aircraft using the tilt-wing principle. These vehicles take off and land vertically like helicopters but fly efficiently and economically like airplanes. Electrically powered propellers and hybrid elements ensure a sufficient range. Our first product, the Aero2, is an unmanned aerial vehicle designed to transport critical goods, such as medical materials weighing up to 40 kilograms, over medium to long distances.
