Airbus Helicopters in final stages of Aerovel acquisition
The acquisition of Aerovel, a company that develops unmanned aerial systems (UAS), by Airbus Helicopters is almost complete. Airbus Helicopters is considering purchasing Aerovel's small tactical vertical take-off and landing Flexrotor in order to meet the growing need for a vehicle capable of performing manned-unmanned teaming operations, in addition to entering the Group 2 and 3 UAS market. With a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 25 kg (55 lb), Airbus Helicopters intends to enter the Flexrotor in all competitions where it is qualified. The Flexrotor, with an operational configuration that often lasts more than 12–14 hours, is intended for use in intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance operations.

Why Trust Us
What these certifications mean to usA market figure is only as reliable as the system that produced it. That is why our accreditations cover the whole chain, not just the research step. ESOMAR and MRSI membership binds us to the professional codes that govern how respondents are recruited and how findings may be represented. ISO 20252 governs the research process itself; ISO 9001 and our quality control certification govern how consistently we repeat it. ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, alongside our GDPR, CCPA and DPDP compliance, govern what happens to your brief and your data once it reaches us; because a confidential scope is often more sensitive than the deliverable. ISO 14001, our D-U-N-S registration, Chamber of Commerce membership and DMCA protection speak to how the company itself is run and how its work is safeguarded.Our Clutch and Trustpilot profiles are deliberately listed next to them. They are the only signals on this page we do not issue ourselves, and they are the ones we would check first if we were you.
