Integral E, the electric version of Aura Aero’s s two-seater aircraft designed for training, aerobatics and
leisure, has performed its first flight at Toulouse-Francazal airport.
More silent and environment-friendly, Aura Aero’s new two-seater paves the way for the decarbonization of light
aviation.
The firrst prototype of Integral E, registered F-WIAE, took off this morning at 8:48 CET, from Toulouse-Francazal runway.
Upon its entry in service, Integral E will have a range of around one hour and a supercharging capacity, under 30 minutes.
Thanks to its unrivaled performance, the cost per flight hour will be halved, compared to that of a thermal aircraft in its category.
The first deliveries of Integral R are scheduled to start at the beginning of 2025, and the entry in service of the electric version is scheduled in 2026, after two years of flight tests.
Jérémy Caussade, President and co-founder of Aura Aero said, “It’s a very emotional day for all the Aura Aero teams. The first flight of Integral E is a huge step forward, not only because the Integral family is now complete, but also because this aircraft is one of the first to address, in an electric version, many of the needs expressed by training schools and flying clubs. We are very proud of what we have achieved in six years and of the commercial success of the Integral family. Decarbonization of aviation is now a reality.”
