The EASA-certified electric aircraft will combine aerodynamic efficiency with full carbon fibre structures tailored for flight training durability.
The certified electric motor will support new air mobility, from small aircraft to future hybrid propulsion systems.
The outcome will be a full-scale aircraft that will undergo extensive aerodynamic testing, derisking the remaining certification compliance tasks. Work is under way in Denver, Colorado.
Regardless of electrical power source, Crane A&E's high-power converters will convert high voltage source power into an aircraft's traditional 28v DC bus or 270v DC bus, delivering up to 4kW of power.
The modern G500 TXi flight display will be tailored for the eFlyer 2 to display its electric propulsion information, while also adding synthetic vision, terrain and traffic alerting, geo-referenced charts, and more.
The eFlyer 800 will have only one-fifth the operating costs of traditional twin turboprops and is geared for the air taxi, cargo, regional and charter aircraft markets. L3Harris will collaborate to create an ISR version.
Three conforming eFlyer 2 aircraft will be used in the test program to achieve final FAA certification, and the first is now being built by experimental aircraft experts Composites Universal Group.
Bye Aerospace already has sales agreements for over 700 eFlyer aircraft, and has opted to equip these with Safran's ENGINeUS 100 smart electric motor with fully integrated motor controller.
