Bye Aerospace has started assembling the fuselage for the first serial production example of its eFlyer light aircraft. This milestone was reached as the U.S. manufacturer edged closer to completing FAA type certification for the two-seat, all-electric model.

Composite Universal Group (CUG) is building the fuselage under contract from Bye Aerospace. CUG, which is based in Oregon, is also assembling the Toray carbon-composite wings for the eFlyer 2.
