History
[edit]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]
