Los Angeles-based charter start-up Quantum Air has agreed to purchase 22 of Bye Aerospace’s electrically powered, fixed-wing, four-seat eFlyer 4 aircraft and four of its two-seat eFlyer 2s. In an agreement announced this week, Quantum Air also committed to buy two examples of another new electric aircraft that Bye Aerospace now has in development.

The two companies have not yet announced a delivery date for the eFlyers, for which Bye Aerospace is now completing the critical design review. It expects to achieve FAA FAR 23 type certification for the eFlyer 2 in 2021, with the eFlyer 4 expected to follow about a year later.
