EASA CS-23 | FAA FAR-23<\/h1>\n

The best of general aviation.<\/h2>\n

Certified under EASA CS-23 and soon FAA FAR-23, the Elixir guarantees the highest safety standards in general aviation. The IFR capability combined with engines allowing cruise speeds up to 170kts (with Rotax 915iS) simplifies the training path, from ab-initio to CPL and its complex navigations. Introducing the simplest conception ever seen on a certified light aircraft, the Elixir provides an unmatched versatility with TCO\u2019s starting from $37\/h. The simplified design reduces the need for maintenance, improving safety and availability while reducing the costs.<\/p>\n

Safety, without compromise.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Because safety is our top priority, we developed the Elixir to avoid structural failures. The Elixir is the first carbon aircraft made with the OneShot technology. Without screws, rivets or glue, you are assured to use an aircraft that will go through the years without failures.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

OneShot: the best of carbon fiber, improved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Maintenance costs are resulting from complex structures and the amount of spare parts. The more spare parts, the more expensive. There are less than 600 references for all the Elixir, compared to more than 17.000 on most aircraft in the same category. More than 95% of the Elixir is made of OneShot<\/strong> carbon fiber pieces. No spar, no ribs, no stringers, no rivets, no screws. OneShot<\/strong> elements only require a quick visual check, you will save time and money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Unbeatable cost per hour.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thanks to OneShot and to the Rotax engine, you will reach costs never seen before on a certified aircraft. Between 2.6 and 3.2gal\/h for basic training and 4.2gal\/h for advanced navigation. It’s up to 70% savings compared to most aircrafts used for training. And because you are flying with a Rotax engine, you know there is no compromise on reliability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Elixir answers to 100% of flight schools’ needs. May it be for training or cross-country flights, your Elixir is the essential tool for your growth. Thanks to its upcoming CS-23 certification that will open the doors of NVFR and IFR, there is no need to invest in aircraft dedicated for each mission. With the Elixir, standardization of your fleet will allow you to depreciate your investment sooner, but also to get new students thanks to its attractiveness.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

The specifications of the aircraft have been elaborated with the FFA (F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise A\u00e9ronautique), which ensures you to aquire an aircraft perfectly fitting your needs. The Elixir is an aircraft to be put in all hands, train ab-initio to experienced pilot.<\/p>\n

Ergonomic cockpit rhymes with easier formation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Glass cockpits are completely part of today’s and tomorrow’s aviation landscape. The Garmin G3X in central position allows the instructor to teach in optimal conditions.
The simplified reading of flight parameters allows a better focus on piloting. For those who prefer certified analogic instruments, they are included on the pilot’s side.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

1 fuel tank. 0 omission.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The unique fuel tank developed thanks to OneShot<\/strong> eliminates the need to manage separate fuel tanks. Say goodbye to balance problems and\u00a0to fuel managing mistakes.
And because the simpler is often the better, both the pitch and the rpm are managed by a single lever. All of that while taking advantage from excellent performances in all corners of the flight domain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n

Count to 4. You’re done.<\/strong><\/p>\n

All systems are accessible from hatches. No more hours spent in your aircraft to dismount the cabin to access the fuel system. On the Elixir, you just need to remove 4 screws under the aircraft to access it. All the elements are mounted on a removable plate that can be taken away to work beside the aircraft. Same for the flaps, ailerons, trims and landing gear systems.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

OneShot. An aptly named concept.<\/strong><\/p>\n

About the airframe maintenance, everything got easier with OneShot<\/strong>. With only 600 spare parts, maintenance on a certified aircraft has never been easier. And because 95% of the Elixir is made of OneShot<\/strong> carbon parts, you will spend less time on maintenance and more time in the sky. All of this while saving money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

GLIDER TOWING VERSION<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Towing is good, towing efficiently and at a cheaper cost is better.<\/h2>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Half of our team are glider pilots and Nicolas Mahuet, our Chief of Design Office has already designed several towing aircraft. Aware of the problems triggered by the aging fleet of towing aircrafts in Europe. We are proposing a glider towing version of the Elixir. Higher climb rates even for heavier gliders, an improved safety and a reduced fuel consumption.
More towings, in better conditions.
