The Swiss Army Knife of Drones
Aero-200 is the smallest product of the Dufour tilt-wing family. Designed as a multi-purpose unmanned aircraft, it is as robust and as versatile as a Swiss Army Knife. It will be the company’s first commercially available aircraft, targeting serial production in 2027.

The Aero-200 transports your critical useful load of 20 kg over a distance of 200 km – or much further with less payload. No runway needed – the Aero-200 takes off and lands like a helicopter, but it is as fast, efficient and safe as an airplane.
Discover a perfect solution for your critical cargo delivery or remote sensing needs at highest safety standards and low operating costs. Our hybrid-electric propulsion system and in-house flight computer provide you with a maximum of efficiency and flexibility.
About Dufour Aerospace
Dufour Aerospace was founded in 2017 by Thomas Pfammatter, Dominique Steffen and Jasmine Kent. The team includes former engineers from Airbus, Solar Impulse, Boeing and Google. Leveraging over 30 years of experience in Swiss commercial helicopter operations, Dufour Aerospace understands the real world requirements of VTOL aircraft.
The tilt-wing design of Dufour’s aircraft family combines the ability to take-off and land vertically like a helicopter with the efficiency and speed of a conventional aircraft. The tilt-wing feature also gives the ability to cruise more efficiently - a key requirement of effective electric flight.
The highly experienced Dufour engineering team is building aircraft for rugged operations in harsh environments. The company’s patented combination of proven aerodynamic concepts integrated with the latest technology gives Dufour aircraft absolutely sound designs with unparalleled performance.
The combination of VTOL operation experience, aircraft design and software development expertise positions the company at the forefront of Advanced Air Mobility, making manned and unmanned electric and hybrid electric VTOLs a reality.
Partnering with Dufour Aerospace demonstrates Savback Helicopters’ confidence in the future of eVTOL as well as making the advantageous commitment to supporting an early mover in the urban air mobility sector, an industry estimated to be worth $1.5 trillion by 2040 according to Morgan Stanley.
