Airbus Group unveiled a “connected cockpit” for the E-Fan electric two-seater here at the show yesterday. It has been designed to “de-stress” the student pilot, said Jean Botti, the company’s chief technology officer. Airbus expects the main user of the E-Fan, from its entry into service in 2017, will be flying schools.
