INTEGRAL E, the electric version of AURA AERO’s two-seater aircraft designed for training, aerobatics, and leisure, performed its first flight Dec. 3, 2024, at Toulouse-Francazal Airport in France.
According to company officials, INTEGRAL E will have a range of around one hour and a charging capacity of under 30 minutes. INTEGRAL E will also be available in a glider tow-plane version, they added.
AURA AERO boasts an order book of several hundred aircraft, in the three versions. 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.

a flight of less than an hour for training? Most training areas require at least 15 minutes of flight to and from the training area from the airport….. So in effect, you get about 20 minutes to demonstrate and have the student perform maneuvers per training session? This is nowhere near close enough to being good enough for actual flight training other than pattern work.
