Dufour Aerospace

Dufour Aerospace develops efficient and sustainable aircraft for patient and passenger transport, logistics and public safety. It uses distributed electric propulsion and a hybrid module to be able to meet today's unmanned aerial systems and helicopter markets. Dufour Aerospace is developing the Aero2, an unmanned aerial vehicle taking-off and landing vertically like a helicopter, but flying as fast and as energy efficient as an airplane by virtue of its tilt-wing design. The hybrid-electric Aero2 carries a useful load of 55kg/121lbs over distances of up to 1000km/620miles with a maximum take-off weight of 208 kg.
