Volatus Aerospace Advances Defense Capabilities with New Hybrid Aircraft Platform
30.01.2026 - 20:18:04Canadian drone and aviation specialist Volatus Aerospace is deepening its strategic collaboration with Dufour Aerospace. The partnership, now moving from planning into active development, is focused on creating runway-independent cargo solutions tailored for defense and commercial sectors. This initiative places the company at the intersection of modern military logistics and cutting-edge aerospace technology.
A significant step was confirmed on January 27, 2026, with the installation of a flight simulator at Volatus’s Toronto facility. This simulator serves a dual purpose: training company pilots and providing an evaluation platform for prospective clients. The core objective is to adapt Dufour’s hybrid eVTOL (electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft for cargo missions in areas lacking traditional airstrip infrastructure.
