Bye Aerospace begins construction of its all-electric aircraft

Bye Aerospace has launched construction of its first all-electric aircraft, the eFlyer 2. Once complete, the aircraft will undergo extensive testing to derisk the remaining certification compliance tasks. The aircraft is being assembled at Bye Aerospace’s facilities at Centennial Airport in Denver, Colorado. “This clean-sheet design allows us to deliver an aircraft that not only meets but exceeds the performance and efficiency expectations of our aviation clients,” said Bye Aerospace CEO Rod Zastrow. The quieter, more sustainable aircraft is expected to reduce operating costs by up to 80% and cut maintenance requirements by up to 75%.
