Dufour Aerospace

We are among the very few in the modern world that performed and demonstrated full transition and full flight envelope of tilt-wing aircraft. Electric motors offer energy efficiency of 90% compared to 40% of combustion motors. They have fewer parts than conventional motors and therefore need only little maintenance and offer high reliability and safety. Electric powertrains offer more flexibility – due to their comparatively smaller size, electric motors can be positioned directly where power is needed, without the need to install complicated power transmission. Currently available battery technology does not (yet) provide the energy density necessary for long-range missions. As both our manned and unmanned tilt-wing products are based on the same software core, we can prove its reliability with thousands of real flight hours. Our own aircraft management platform allows the use of a simple tablet to operate our aircrafts whether manned or unmanned and integrate them to any existing system with ease. First needs very low maintenance and offers the highest relability in its class.
