Delair, formerly known as Delair-Tech,[1] is a manufacturer of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) and an asset-management company based in Toulouse, France.[2][3][4] It has offices in Singapore, Beijing, Los Angeles, Toulouse, Paris[2][3] and Ghent.[5]

Delair manufactures fixed-wing UAVs or drones and software analytics programs.[2] They are used in the utilities, transportation, oil and gas, mining, agriculture, and emergency services industries.[2][3] Delair was named a World Economic Forum Technology Pioneer in June 2018.[2]

History

Delair was founded by Michaël de Lagarde, Benjamin Benharrosh, Benjamin Michel, and Bastien Mancini in 2011.[2][5] One year later in 2012, the company's DT18 drone was certified as the first UAV for beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) communications in France.[1][2]

In 2018, Delair purchased the assets of former competitor Airware.[2][3] In acquiring Airware, Delair also acquired Redbird, a French data mining company.[3] The company purchased rival Gatewing from Trimble in 2016.[1][2]

In 2018, Intel Corporation partnered with Delair to implement its technology into Intel's Insights drone platform.[6] Intel also invested in the company as part of the agreement.[7] On 6 December, 2019, it was announced that Stampede would distribute the Delair UX11 drone. Stampede will serve as the U.S. distribution partner for the company.[8]

In 2023 Delair supplied 150 UAV drones to Kyiv.[9][10] Later, in 2024 France announced an order of 2000 UX11 "Colibri" suicide drones of which 100 will be sent to the front in Ukraine.[10] These drones offer the advantage of a 5 minute deployment time and a payload of up to 500g.
