The Connova Group presents itself at the JEC World 2026 in Paris
From March 10 to 12, 2026, the Paris Nord Villepinte exhibition center will once again
Fulfillment of the highest requirements for production and processes for UAV & drones
Certified compliance with UAV & drone customer specifications.
Fast reaction and production times for UAV & drones.
Based on years of experience in the aerospace industry, Connova Group has also been traveling in the area of professional drones for several years. As with all aircraft, lightweight construction also plays a crucial role in unmanned air bodies. Each saved kilogram in structure weight means more payload or more fuel or both. Our competence in the development and production of light structure components is the guarantee for the successful implementation of lightweight projects for particularly efficient drones.
From the entire system architecture to individual structural components and assemblies including rotor blades and compliant fuel tanks, we offer our customers the entire range of development and production for unmanned aircraft and drones. Our quality manual is air-certified according to EN 9100.
As experts in drone and UAV composite solutions, we offer a wide range of services: advice, development of UAV products, construction and calculation of drone parts as well as optimization of drone and UAV systems.
Thanks to our years of experience in the production of high-performance composites for drones and UAVS, our experts guarantee the most efficient production method for your UAV product, while maintaining the highest quality standards and delivery reliability.
Wir bieten ein umfangreiches Angebot an CNC-Services speziell für den Modellbau, Formenbau und die finale Bearbeitung von Composite-Komponenten in Drohnen und UAVs, immer mit einer 100%-igen Garantie für Präzision.
Wir bieten ein breites Spektrum an Dienstleistungen für mechanische Bearbeitung und Support, die sowohl Teil des Produktionsprozesses Ihrer Drohnen- und UAV-Composite-Komponenten sein können, als auch als ergänzende Unterstützung für Ihre eigene Fertigung angeboten werden.
Head of Sales & Project Management, Connova Group
Taylan Toprak holds a Diplom-Ingenieur degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Technical University of Munich (graduated 1993), bringing over 30 years of aerospace experience. As Head of Sales & Project Management at Connova Group, he combines deep composite expertise with strategic market insight for emerging segments such as UAV and drone systems. His background spans more than 17 years in senior composite-industry roles – from certified high-volume production for manned aviation to agile low-volume runs for unmanned platforms.
Why you benefit from his expertise:
„UAVs and drones place unique demands on weight, stiffness, and reproducibility. We bring manned-aviation quality standards into the unmanned world – delivering composites you can trust at series scale.“
— Taylan Toprak, Head of Sales & Project Management, Connova Group
In addition to our standard ISO 9001 certification, we proudly maintain our higher level EN9100 quality management certification for the aerospace industry. We guarantee controlled, measurable quality from material procurement to delivery of the end product. With our high-precision testing equipment, we meet the highest industry standards. Trust us when it comes to precision and consistent quality assurance.
The Connova Group is the main contractor for the production of the primary structure of the Aero2 Cargo drone from Dufour Aerospace. The main building groups “wings” and “fuselage” as well as many other secondary components include the supporting structure. The entire structure is manufactured in CFRP construction with some very innovative construction principles that are used for the first time for such a type of components. That is exactly why the customer has contacted Connova Group. To manufacture new and challenging structural components with experienced composite engineers and to industrialize in the medium term for series production. Just in the spirit of: New Ways in Composites!
The integration of a tank volume into an already densely packed drone is typically a special challenge. Not only the precise control of the focus is an important requirement, but also the fundamental question of whether and how much the tank should absorb structural loads and thus be “load -bearing” or not. The former leads to less weight, the latter to less complexity. The engineers from the Connova Group support customers in making the right decisions. Weight optimization, tightness, control of the priority, flower protection are just a few topics that make a CFRP tank a “flying” CFRP tank. We are proud that we have already been able to implement various tank projects for aircraft and have always found the right solution. The outer form of the tank is not a limitation for us!
Each propeller – whether engine or helicopter – needs rotor blades adapted to the size and performance. The accuracy and quality of these rotor blades naturally influence the performance data as well as the reliability of the aircraft. Commercial solutions are often not available for rotor blades of this type and this claim. Connova Group’s engineers have therefore specified, developed, tested and qualified together with the customer for an 100kg drone cfk ro>tor blades. The experiences and material data obtained in the development of rotor leaves represent a competence that can be used very well for similarly stored development projects. We look forward to your inquiries!
The Connova Group is pleased to confirm your selection as the main supplier for the Aero2 composite material cell from Dufour Aerospace. The most important assemblies of the cell – main wing, fuselage and engine shaft – are manufactured at the production site by Connova AG in Villmergen (Aargau), Switzerland.
Decades of experience based on countless lightweight construction projects. Let us find out in a telephone conversation whether we are the right partner for you. We will be happy to advise you free of charge and without obligation!
