Founded in 2015, Elixir Aircraft produces the 100-hp Elixir, a fourth-generation aircraft certified in 2020. Built using a OneShot carbon composite structure, the aircraft consists of nine primary parts, eliminating the need for rivets or glue. This streamlined design increases safety, simplifies maintenance, and reduces fuel consumption. Combined with an ultra-efficient engine, the Elixir offers up to 70% fewer CO2 emissions compared to conventional trainers.
