Bye Aerospace today unveiled plans to enter the business aviation market with the eFlyer 800, an all-electric aircraft powered by a pair of Safran's Engineus electric motors. The twin will be able to carry seven passengers and two pilots on flights of up to 500 nm at 320 knots, it added.

The new model will compete with existing turboprop models such as the Beech King Air 260 and Daher TBM 910, albeit with less than one-third of the range. Denver-based Bye Aerospace indicated it expects to complete type certification in between four and six years from now, but said that it already has “customer deposit agreements” from undisclosed air taxi, charter, and cargo operators in the U.S. and Europe.
