Teamed with Dufour's in-house designed variable-pitch hub mechanism, these propellers will deliver the lift and cruise thrust for the aircraft.

Dufour has specified carbon fixed-pitch propeller blades from Mejzlik Propellers on the main propeller on Aero2.

Simon Bendrey, Head of Design at Dufour Aerospace, says: "Mejzlik Propellers has crafted custom variable-pitch blades for the main propellers, perfectly suited to our motor and aircraft performance needs. Teamed with Dufour's in-house designed variable-pitch hub mechanism, these propellers will deliver the lift and cruise thrust for the aircraft. We eagerly anticipate a long-lasting partnership with Mejzlik Propellers on this program."

Tomas Mejzlik, CEO of Mejzlik Propellers, adds: "I am thrilled to collaborate with Dufour Aerospace on their Aero2 project. At Mejzlik Propellers, we are dedicated to delivering propeller solutions that help our customers achieve their propulsion system goals efficiently. This is why Dufour Aerospace chose us for their project and placed their trust in us. Our involvement in the Aero2 project allows us to leverage our 30+ years of experience in propeller design and manufacturing. We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a sophisticated project and further enhance our expertise in propulsion systems in the UAV market."
