Aura Aero and Norges Luftsportforbund
Norges Luftsportforbund, the Norwegian air sports federation, has signed an agreement to purchase an Integral E electric two-seat aircraft from Aura Aero.

At the Aero Friedrichshafen trade show in Germany last week, French start-up Aura Aero signed a purchase agreement with Norges Luftsportforbund, the Norwegian Air Sports Federation, for the purchase of an Integral E electric two-seat aircraft. Norges Luftsportforbund is purchasing the Integral E in a tow-plane configuration and plans to use it to tug gliders at the Ole Reistad center for gliding near Elverum, Norway.

The Integral concept will also be available in a pilot training version (Integral S) as well as a format designed for leisure and aerobatics (Integral R). Powering the Integral E are batteries that will enable users to charge the aircraft in less than half an hour. The lightweight aircraft was developed with easy maintenance and repair in mind, according to the company.
