DENVER — Bye Aerospace has launched construction of its first all-electric aircraft, the eFlyer 2.

The project aims to fabricate and assemble an all-composite structure, validate approved design plans, and establish production processes, according to company officials.

“The outcome will be a full-scale aircraft that will undergo extensive aerodynamic testing,” company officials noted.

The milestone aircraft, Serial Number 00001, is being assembled at Bye Aerospace’s facilities at Centennial Airport (KAPA) in Denver, Colorado.

The eFlyer 2 is engineered to meet the “unique demands” of the aviation training industry, company officials said.

“With a clean-sheet design that maximizes aerodynamic efficiency and incorporates lightweight composites, the eFlyer 2 is … expected to reduce operating costs by up to 80% and cut maintenance requirements by up to 75%, all while offering quieter, sustainable aviation,” company officials added.
