DroneTalks | Why Dufour Aerospace manufacture their high-quality aircraft in Switzerland
“We are building a new aircraft for critical cargo transport. A VTOL aircraft, a tilt-wing that can carry 40 kilos of payload over 400 kilometres.” At the recent Aerial Cities 2023, we sat down with Jasmine Kent, CTO and Co-Founder of Dufour Aerospace, to understand more about their new aircraft, Aero2 and Aero3. Dufour Aerospace's new VTOL aircraft focus on the tilt-wing principle, enabling them to take off and land in small spaces, but fly with the speed and efficiency of an airplane, making the aircraft ideal for critical cargo transport, patient transportation and emergency intervention. Jasmine also explained to us the strategic advantages of operating in Switzerland, and the Swiss quality of products. Also, with such a high quality of life, the company believes Switzerland is the ideal location to attract world-class aviation talent, while also allowing the team to strike a work-life balance.
