Today we unveiled our first product: Zuri uncrewed cargo VTOL.
A hybrid-electric tiltrotor for civil and defense operators. It carries 115 kg across a 679 km design range, or 569 km with a full 30-minute reserve counted in. It lands on a pad, a deck, or open ground, refuels in minutes on ordinary fuel, and no one is on board.
The work: resupply to offshore platforms and islands, the failed part that idles a rig, relief past broken roads, and resupply to positions where the risk is sending people.
It is built on Technology Demonstrator 2.0, in ground test in Prague now. First flight is planned for early 2027, and what TD 2.0 proves in the air becomes the cargo aircraft.
More than fifteen aircraft and hundreds of test flights got us here, since 2018.

In aerospace production, solving a problem is about process, rather than improvisation. You compare the result with the target, isolate the deviation, test the most likely causes, and keep eliminating until the root cause is clear.
That is the approach Dmitri Paley, UAV Production Manager at Dufour Aerospace, uses to chase down the root cause of a non conformity.
That level of discipline ensures every Aero-200 is built to meet the highest quality standard.

It’s time for another Horizon Aircraft Hot Seat! This time, we’re asking the team one question:
If you could have helped design any aircraft in aerospace history, which would it be?
The answers include the SR-71 Blackbird, Concorde, the Wright Flyer and the 747, along with some great stories about engineering, stealth technology and even a memorable Lockheed interview.
