Company Overview
Bye Aerospace is an innovative company focused on disrupting the general aviation industry with its line of eFlyer series fixed-wing aircraft. The company's primary goal is to address the Aviation Training sector by providing cost-efficient, safe, and technologically advanced training aircraft.
eFlyer 2
The eFlyer 2 is Bye Aerospace's flagship all-electric training aircraft. It aims to significantly reduce operating costs by eliminating expenditures on AVGAS and oil, and minimizing maintenance requirements. This aircraft can save up to 80% in flight operating costs and is designed with high safety standards, including a whole-plane parachute and spin resistance per 14 CFR Part 23, Amendment 64. The eFlyer 2 promises simpler operations due to the absence of fuel and oil spills, combined with decreased maintenance needs, which results in higher availability for flights.
Safety and Certification
The eFlyer 2 is the first aircraft to apply for 14 CFR Part 23, Amendment 64 (all-electric) FAA certification. The design, test, and safety plans for this aircraft have already been accepted by the FAA, making it ready to build and fly. The aircraft's safety features include a whole-plane parachute and design considerations that make it highly spin-resistant.
Operational Efficiency
The eFlyer 2 is designed to provide smart data for enhanced flight operations, maintenance scheduling, and business forecasting. This feature allows operators to achieve more efficient management of resources, leading to increased operational effectiveness. Additionally, the simplified operation and the elimination of fuel and oil spills contribute to more frequent and reliable flight schedules.
