๐ Meet the Residents Across Our SI Parks! ๐
With over 30 years of experience in commercial helicopter operations, @Switzerland Innovation park Zurich community member @Dufour Aerospace brings real-world expertise to Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL)
aviation.
Aero3, the flagship product, can take-off and land vertically like a helicopter, but flies as fast and as energy efficient as an airplane, by virtue of its tilt-wing design. Dufour Aerospace is also developing the Aero2, an unmanned aerial vehicle based on the same aerodynamic and technical principles as Aero3.
๐ Dufour Aerospace pioneers automated flight with minimal pilot interaction. Their robust flight control system empowers the aircraft to fly autonomously, requiring input only for take-off and mission planning.
๐ง Tilt-wings, a specialty at Dufour, offer superior control and efficiency. The propeller-wing synergy reduces weight and drag, ensuring optimal flight performance.
๐ก Dufour's innovative control system ensures seamless remote operations. Successive layers of control and envelope protections allow operators to focus on mission planning with minimal intervention.
