INTEGRAL E continues its test campaign
and performs its fi rst inverted fl ight, a major step
in the certifi cation process of the fi rst all-electric aerobatic aircraft
Since its maiden fl ight on 3 December 2024, INTEGRAL E, AURA AERO*'s all-electric two-seater with aerobatic capabilities, has been performing test fl ights as part of its certifi cation campaign, and has already completed 15 fl ights.
Today, four months after its very fi rst takeoff, INTEGRAL E has successfully completed its fi rst inverted fl ight, confi rming the aircraft's performance and reliability in this key aerobatic maneuver and marking another step towards its certifi cation, expected by the end of next year.
Jérémy CAUSSADE, Co-founder and President of AURA AERO, is delighted with this latest milestone: “The INTEGRAL E test campaign is going according to plan, and we are very pleased with the aircraft's performance!” He adds: “The aircraft in the INTEGRAL family, particularly the INTEGRAL E, are eagerly awaited by fl ying clubs and training schools around the world, all of which are seeking to decarbonize their operations.”
Quiet and environmentally friendly, thanks to its Safran ENGINeUS engine - the world's fi rst certifi ed electric aircraft engine - INTEGRAL E paves the way for the decarbonization of light aviation.
When it enters service, INTEGRAL E will have a fl ight endurance of over an hour and a supercharging capacity of 30 minutes. Its unrivalled performance will also halve the cost per fl ight hour compared with a thermal aircraft in its class. Available in R (training, aerobatics - classic landing gear) and S (training, UPRT - tricycle landing gear) versions, it will also be available as a glider tug, helping to further reduce the environmental and noise footprint of this activity.
The INTEGRAL range is a family of two-seater side-by-side training aircraft with aerobatic capabilities, suitable for both civil and military use,
AURA AERO's INTEGRAL E Completes First Inverted Flight
The all-electric INTEGRAL E continues its certification campaign, achieving a significant milestone with its first inverted flight. Since its maiden flight on December 3, 2024, this aerobatic two-seater has completed 15 test flights, confirming its impressive performance and reliability. With the Safran ENGINeUS engine, the INTEGRAL E exemplifies environmentally friendly aviation. Its expected end-of-year certification will offer over an hour of flight endurance and a 30-minute supercharge capability, halving the cost per flight hour. Available in R and S versions, it promotes decarbonization in aviation training and glider towing.
