Mission

Engineering and manufacturing, from drawing to flight

Our drones are designed, built, tested and improved under one roof, at our factory in Antananarivo. We put that chain at the service of industrial companies.

The whole chain, under one roof

The S330 family is designed and built in Antananarivo by AirProd, the group's design and production company. Design office, composites, electronics, assembly and test benches work in the same factory, at Ambohibao Antehiroka.

Our aeronautical engineers trained at leading French engineering schools; our technicians are Malagasy. R&D is shared between our Antananarivo teams and AerialMetric SAS in France.

From drawing to flight

  1. 01

    Design and simulation

    Computer-aided design and simulation, through to a part that is ready to build.

  2. 02

    Moulds and composites

    Moulds and composite parts made on site.

  3. 03

    Electronics and wiring

    Integration of on-board electronics and aircraft wiring.

  4. 04

    Assembly

    Sub-assemblies and complete aircraft.

  5. 05

    Test benches

    Bench testing on the ground, of sub-assemblies and aircraft.

  6. 06

    Flight testing

    At a test site about an hour from Antananarivo.

  7. 07

    Maintenance

    Upkeep of aircraft in service, with parts and support in Madagascar.

What we do for industrial companies

  • Design

    Design of parts, sub-assemblies and aircraft, with simulation.

  • Composites

    Moulds and composite parts made in our workshop.

  • Prototyping

    Moulds, parts and prototypes made on site; a change can be flight-tested within days.

  • Small series

    The prototype becomes a series on the same lines, with the same teams. Operators are recruited and trained locally.

  • Maintenance and repair

    We maintain the drones we build, including those of our customers. See Drones, training and maintenance.

  • Contract manufacturing

    Composite parts, sub-assemblies, wiring, assembly and testing, carried out on our lines for industrial customers. See Industrial partners.

Quality and export control

Our quality management system follows ISO 9001 for the design, manufacture and operation of drones; ISO 9001:2026 certification is in progress. Details are on the Quality and compliance page.

Every request is reviewed — country, end user, end use — against the applicable regulations before any offer is made.

Come and see the factory

Tell us about the part, sub-assembly or test you have in mind: we will welcome you at the Ambohibao factory, and a flight demonstration can be arranged about an hour from Antananarivo. Our contracts are listed on the Track record page.
