variants with their own articles=The DF Helicopters Dragon 334 is a two-seat light utility helicopter that was developed in Italy during the 1980s. Designed as a private project by twin brothers Angelo and Alfredo Castiglioni for use in archaeological work, they felt that the machine had commercial potential and began series production in the early 1990s. The Dragonfly is a conventional design of pod-and-boom configuration, with two seats side-by-side under a bubble canopy.

French UAV manufacturer CAC Systèmes created a drone version named the Héliot for use in reconnaissance and as an aerial target, but this did not enter production.
