UK flight school Skyborne Airline Academy has ordered six of Bye Aerospace’s eFlyer 2 fixed-wing electric aircraft and four of the larger eFlyer 4 model. The deal, announced on July 24, took the total number of deposit-backed reservations for the aircraft to 360.

Denver-based Bye Aerospace is working to certify the eFlyers under the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration’s FAR Part 23 rules. First deliveries of the two-seat eFlyer 2 are anticipated in late 2021, with the first of the four-seat eFlyer 4s to follow by the end of 2022.
