All-Electric Trainer Takes To The Skies In Milestone Test Flight
Bye Aerospace has successfully completed the first flight of its all-electric eFlyer 2 aircraft, designed specifically for the flight training market. The eFlyer 2 took off from Centennial Airport near Denver, Colorado, and performed well during the test flight, validating the work of the engineering team. The aircraft has a safety-focused design and can reduce operating costs by up to 80% while eliminating in-flight emissions. The flight marks the launch of the aircraft’s flight test program as it progresses towards Federal Aviation Administration certification and eventually customer deliveries. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
