Electric Aircraft Pioneer Advances Toward First Flight
Bye Aerospace has been awarded a Special Airworthiness Certificate by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its eFlyer 2, a 2-seater all-electric training aircraft. The certificate was granted after a detailed inspection of the aircraft’s airframe, electric propulsion system, and other functional systems. Bye Aerospace has completed the structural build and ground testing of the eFlyer 2 and plans to begin flight testing and certification. The company’s orderbook for the eFlyer 2 and 4-seat eFlyer 4 stands at over 1,000 aircraft, with orders from premier flight training schools. This development was first reported by Business Wire.
