Extended Reach, Strategic Endurance
Vertical Launch, Forward Impact

Defendor’s tail-sitter vertical take-off design frees operators from traditional infrastructure requirements, allowing rapid deployment from confined, remote, or otherwise unprepared locations. Once airborne, Defendor seamlessly transitions into high-speed forward flight, combining agility, range, and payload capacity to deliver precise, decisive effects exactly where and when they are needed, giving operators unmatched flexibility and operational advantage in complex mission environments.

Scalable, Sovereign Capability

Engineered and manufactured entirely in the United Kingdom to the highest aviation standards, Defendor delivers unmatched supply-chain security, rapid production scalability, and cost-effective unit economics. The result is a platform that enables sovereign forces to field credible, flexible and fully controllable combat aerial capability across multiple mission types, with assured operational reliability.

Extended Reach, Strategic Endurance

Defendor delivers performance once reserved for far costlier platforms, providing operators with a decisive tactical advantage. It is capable of conducting precision deep-strike missions against high-value targets, engaging defended or distant objectives with speed, accuracy and a high degree of autonomy. This ensures effective target elimination with minimal collateral damage, maximising mission effectiveness while maintaining a strong return on investment across sustained operations.
