Elixir Plots Expansion into U.S. GA Market
Elixir Aircraft plans to open a facility in the U.S. as it seeks FAA Part 23 certification of its two-seat single-engine composite airplane.

Elixir Aircraft is making its U.S. debut at EAA AirVenture as it eyes expansion into this “vast” general aviation market. The French company is displaying its two-seat piston-singles, which are touted as low-cost, “fourth generation” alternatives to the huge inventory of aging light aircraft. Fourth-generation refers to Elixer's OneShot composite manufacturing technology, which uses an injection molding process to make monolithic structural components.
