Since 2016 developing heavy duty solutions with drone technology
Drone Hopper was born in 2016 with the task of creating a heavy duty drone to help in the fight against wildfires. The team decided to develop a solution involving combustion engines due to higher lift/weight ratio than in current battery technology for multicopters. Since 2016 we have created several different prototypes as a needed steps to validate the innovative technology that makes our platforms possible.
The company is made of people from the entrepreneurship environments, aeronautic experts with Airbus experience and highlighted professionals from the drone industry that assure a quality level on the development on par with the top aeronautical companies in the world. Drone Hopper also counts with a prestigious advisory board with experts in aeronautical certification, robotics and manufacturing quality from prestigious spanish universities.

Drone Hopper, the heavy weight champion
Drone Hopper designs, manufacturers and sell heavy-duty drones for firefighting, agricultural applications and logistics solutions. Our unique approach to the problem has delivered a multicopter family that has a combination of combustion engines for heavy lift and electric engines for control and stability that work in unison to be able to achieve what no other company has done yet.
The future is for heavy-duty drones
The legislation around the world has started to change to accomodate the future of the drone technology. The future will have a powerful unmanned aerial vehicles transporting people, delivering goods and executing heavy duty tasks with ease. Our family of multicopters covers applications for agriculture, firefighting and logistics that are setting the tone for the future.
Drone Hopper is currently operating in many countries around the world, ask us about your country to know if we have a solution ready for you.

Firefighting
At Drone Hopper we take really seriously the fight against fires. We have developed two firefighting drones to help the fire brigades extinguishing wildfires and urban fires. Our powerful combination of combustion engines and electric engines allow our WildHopper and UrbanHopper to carry big amounts of water or fire retardants that combined with our custom water nebulization solution is the best way to deal with fires in a safe operation.
Agriculture
Our Agrohopper solution is the best for agricultural fumigation. The power of our six combustion engines allows the Agrohopper to lift up to 120 liters during one hour of flight time. Enough to cover your entire field. Need more time? Just refill the gas and keep working!
Logistics & Transport
Need a heavy-duty drone to carry big goods between two places in an automated way? We have a full range of solutions within our DutyHopper platform.
Wildhopper, firefighting drone for wildfires
The only firefighting drone in then market, able to operate at night with no pilot life at risk
Night operation
WildHopper can operate at night when Hydroplanes and Helicopters can’t
HIGH PAYLOAD CAPACITY
Our combination of combustion engines and electric engines can lift up to 600 liters of water
NO PILOT LIFE AT RISK
Being an unmanned aerial vehicle the pilot will stay always safely on the ground
WATER NEBULIZATION
Our custom water nebulization solution is up to 5x more efficient at extinguishing fire
