Bye has signed a contract with Composites Universal Group for the assembly of first major component of the fuselage
3 March 2021: Bye Aerospace is in the final leg of assembly of fuselage for two-seat all-electric eFlyer 2 with most of the System Specific Certification Plans (SSCPs) nearing completion and in final approval coordination with FAA. Bye has signed a contract with Composites Universal Group (CUG) for the assembly of first major component of the fuselage. Accordingly the production work is currently being carried out at CUG’s Warren, Ore facility. CUG will also assemble the Toray carbon composite wings for the production eFlyer 2 aircraft
George E. Bye, CEO of Bye Aerospace, said, “Images of the fuselage assembly illustrate important eFlyer 2 program progress. We appreciate the high-tempo level of support that Steve Ruege, CEO of Composite Universal Group and his great team at CUG are giving to this project. Even with the challenges presented to us by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, our team remains laser focused on collaboration efforts with the FAA on the eFlyer 2’s certification program.”
Giving an update on the Bye’s market share George Bye added, “Bye Aerospace now has a backlog of 717 purchase deposit agreements for eFlyer 2, four-seat eFlyer 4 and other Bye Aerospace all-electric aircraft. We are closing several new agreements and expect to make additional market announcements very soon.”
Bye Aerospace estimates the eFlyer will eventually eliminate the release of millions of metric tons of CO2 each year as its deliveries begin and the general aviation fleet is replaced.
