Aircraft/UAV Technician

Dufour Aerospace develops efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft based on the tilt-wing principle. They take off and land vertically like a helicopter, but fly as quickly and economically as an aeroplane. While the propellers are electrically powered, hybrid elements ensure a sufficiently long range. The first product that Dufour Aerospace will launch on the market is the Aero2, an unmanned aerial vehicle that has been specially developed for transporting critical goods such as medical material weighing up to 40 kilograms over medium to long distances.
