# Lehmann Aviation — Mission-Built Aircraft

> Designer and manufacturer of specialized unmanned aircraft. Fixed-wing and
> flying-wing platforms built around a defined operational requirement:
> aerial target drones, cargo aircraft and special-mission platforms.
> Founded in France in 2005. More than 1500 aircraft delivered in over 35 countries.
> Designed and manufactured in Europe.

Positioning: we don't design drones, we design aircraft around missions. A new
platform is developed only when a mission creates a clear operational reason for
a dedicated aircraft architecture.
