Aura Aero's Integral R Wins CS-23 Certification

Aura Aero's Integral R Wins CS-23 Certification

Aura Aero's two-seater training aircraft, Integral R, has received CS-23 type certification. Known for its aerobatic capabilities, Integral R marks the company's first certified aircraft, emphasizing their credibility as a full aircraft manufacturer. After a four-year test campaign and collaboration with EASA, serial production will ramp up for customer deliveries starting in January 2025, targeting 15 aircraft for the year. Aura Aero aims for FAA certification to enter the US market. Integral R features advanced onboard technology for data analysis, predictive maintenance, and includes a whole aircraft rescue parachute. Integral E's test campaign continues, with certification expected by 2025.
