At this time, it was far from the maturity reached as of today.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s edition of the Paris Air Show has been full of great things! The aircraft came by flight (and not on a trailer like before) and we were proud to show a prototype very representative of the serial production versions. As part of the FFA (French Aerospace Federation) initiatives to make light aviation more environmentally friendly, we showed the aircraft to Jean-Luc Charron, president of the French Aerospace Federation (FFA &#8211; F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Fran\u00e7aise A\u00e9ronautique)<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-374\" style=\"border-radius: 20px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/elixir-aircraft.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/vip-elixir.jpg\" alt=\"Patrick Gandil and Jean-Luc Charron in the Elixir\" width=\"80%\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Jean-Luc Charron (FFA) &#038; Patrick Gandil (DGAC) in the Elixir<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In addition to people who have been following us in a while or discovering our 4th generation light aircraft, we met several medias who were eager to share more about the future of flight training. From Radios to TV channels, bloggers and specialized websites, this edition of the Paris Air Show has been a good opportunity to follow our progress in the certification and in the commercialization of the Elixir.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-375\" style=\"border-radius: 20px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/elixir-aircraft.com\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/elixir-cyril-interview.jpg\" alt=\"Cyril Chapenois, COO and co-founder of Elixir Aircraft during an interview\" width=\"80%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t miss Arthur and Cyril&#8217;s interviews on Europe 1 (in french) and on We Are FINN:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0O3nOYf-gvE\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-Y4l5g_rib8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe><\/center><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Apart from that, this edition was a success in terms of pre-orders : 8 pre-orders were added to the list, making it a total of 91 pre-orders.
