Delair
Delair received one of the first French BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) flight authorizations in 2012 and builds its full stack in-house: airframes, avionics, and the DRAKO universal ground control station unveiled in June 2024. Its fixed-wing and VTOL platforms fly long-range autonomous missions for infrastructure inspection, geospatial mapping, and ISR, with hybrid-electric and hydrogen DT46 variants extending VTOL endurance beyond 5.5 hours. The company also operates Delair Marine (SEASAM underwater drone) and acquired drone maker Squadrone System in 2024.
