High-tech aviation company takes 'huge step forward' with milestone for next-gen plane: 'Very proud of what we have achieved'

A French aerospace company has successfully completed a test flight of its new-generation aircraft model. As part of an agreement, the city of Florida has been chosen to host two assembly facilities for the aircraft, which is expected to bring benefits to the region.

This aircraft can be charged in just thirty minutes, and the company predicts that flying it will be roughly half as expensive per hour as flying a plane powered by contaminated fossil fuel.

The company president is Jeremy Caussade, who co-founded the company Aura Aero in 2018 along with two aeronautical engineers.

Over the course of the subsequent five years

Would you try out air-based butter?

A facility in the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Research Park in Daytona Beach will start producing the Integral E in 2025, creating about 20 jobs. The two-seater aircraft is expected to enter flight in 2026 once all the necessary tests and approvals have been completed.

Could we see self-flying vehicles become our primary means of getting around?

No way

Maybe in 100 years

Maybe in 50 years

Construction on a new aircraft manufacturing facility is underway near Daytona Beach International Airport. Upon completion, the plant will produce 19-seat passenger planes and cargo planes capable of carrying 1.9 tons. This project is anticipated to generate over 1,000 high-paying jobs for the local community.

Ways to help yourself while supporting the planet is simple. Start by making small changes to your daily routine, like reducing energy consumption, using eco-friendly products, and conserving water. You can also make dietary changes, such as eating locally sourced foods, reducing meat consumption, and lowering food waste. Furthermore, consider using public transportation, carpooling, or cycling to work, and when you do own a car, make sure to maintain it properly to avoid emissions. Additionally, reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize waste and support sustainable practices in your community.
