SunFlyer 2 Rebranded As eFLYER BYE Aerospace in April announced that it rebranded its new electric flyer then known as the SunFlyer 2 to simply the eFLYER. The company says that the change in the name best reflects the true nature of the high-performing electric all-electric propulsion system. "We originally thought solar cells would be standard on the airplane’s wings," said George Bye, the CEO of BYE Aerospace. "However, with eFlyer’s primary markets being flight training and air taxi services, it makes more sense to make the price of the airplane as reasonable as possible."
The eFlyer family of aircraft, including the 2-seat eFlyer 2 and the 4-seat eFlyer 4, aims to be the first FAA-certified, practical, all-electric airplanes to serve the flight training and general aviation markets. To date, Bye Aerospace has received 298 total customer commitments for both aircraft, including a recent agreement with OSM Aviation Academy to purchase 60 eFlyer 2s.
