SAFETY WITHOUT COMPROMISE<\/h1>\n

Structural failures are the result of complex assemblies. OneShot<\/strong> allows us to create a simpler, safer and more duable aircraft. Its airframe is made without glue, screws or rivets. The result: an airframe made of only 8 parts. No corrosion, no air bubbles in the glue, no wood deterioration… All of this for unbeatable operating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take off with serenity<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Elixir airfoil was designed with a dedicated profile to keep full aileron control until the complete stall with an optimal behaviour to protect you from unexpected spin departure.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Fuel tank : unique in all meanings.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unique fuel tank is filled with anti-explosion and anti-tossing foam, assuring a flight as smooth and safe as possible. And because there is only one fuel tank, no need to switch from one tank to another. No careless mistake possible.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

1 aircraft, 1 parachute.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unexpected can happen to anyone. This is why we decided to integrate a BRS ballistic parachute as soon as we started the conception of the Elixir. And because everyone should fly safe, it is available as standard on all our aircrafts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

CS-23: the best of general aviation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Elixir is EASA CS-23 certified, the ultimate guarantee of safety and quality. It complies with the latest version of the most restrictive European regulations for light aircraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

Simplicity at your fingertips.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aviation is usually synonym of complex cockpits filled with gauges, buttons and switches. Not in the Elixir. Flight parameters, engine parameters, NAV\/COM, GPS, autopilot: everything is accessible from the Garmin G3X’s tactile display. All you need is right here. For the lovers of analogic instruments, we also included classic gauges on the pilot’s side. And because simplicity is our goal, we included a single lever that manages both the engine and the propeller’s pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

French Touch adepts. Even in the cockpit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Safety and affordability rhyme with design. Proud of our nautical roots, we designed an aircraft with sleek lines, distinguishing with its T-tail. The large canopy mounted on a ultra rigid structure ensures a clear vision of the environment. We worked with professionnals of the automotive industry to bring you a modern and familiar cockpit. You will find tablets supports on both sides of the Garmin G3X, featuring USB outputs. The times using an iPad on your knees or an always-falling suction cup are over.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

Infinite customization.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Elixir’s conception allows you to chose among a wide panel of paint color and scheme on the carbon airframe. You can create the livery that you always dreamed about. Why don’t you change from one year to another?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

POLYVALENCE<\/strong><\/h1>\n

It’s up to you.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Polyvalence meets performance.<\/strong><\/p>\n

May it be to fly above your region or to escape for a weekend at the other side of the continent, you will always have the guarantee to do it in the best conditions. EASA CS-23 certification opens the doors of NVFR and IFR. The weather will not be a barrier to you departure or arrival schedule anymore. No matter the length of your trip, you will be able to let the autopilot available as an option handle the flight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

1 fuel tank. Thousands of possibilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n

OneShot<\/strong> allowed us to install a fuel tank assuring an exceptional autonomy. We have chosen to fill it with foam to limit tossing and to avoid explosions. Combined ith the Rotax 912iS or 915iS, you will enjoy more than 6h of autonomy. And because there is only one fuel tank, you don’t have to worry about switching from one fuel tank to another. Your only concern will be to choose a destination.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

MAINTENANCE<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Spend more time flying.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

When maintenance becomes pleasant.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unique conception around OneShot<\/strong> allows you to reduce both the number of spare parts but also the time spent to work on the aircraft. Our hatches system enables a quick and easy access to all systems: fuel system or ailerons connecting rods will not be your nightmare anymore.<\/p>\n

Carbon only requires a quick visual inspection. That’s all. And because more than 95% of the Elixir is made of carbon, you will avoid spending hours verifying your aircraft’s structure. The result: your aircraft has cheaper operating costs and you can fly more often.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
