Dufour chooses Plettenberg power for tail thruster

Plettenberg's high torque, electric motor will drive the tail propeller on Aero 2. It is light weight and thermally efficient, and modified to provide the system redundancy required for continued safe flight of the aircraft.

Even small parts can save weight, say Dufour and 9T

Replacing a number of structural metal parts with highest performing thermoplastic composites will help Dufour Aerospace achieve the ambitious weight targets for the Aero2 programme.

Aero2 masters full transition to horizontal flight

Spright, the launch customer for Aero2, will soon receive a second X2.2 prototype, which will undergo tests including system, ground and flight tests. This unit will serve as a demonstrator in the U.S. from October.
