\nAbout us\n<\/h1>

\nWelcome to the 4th generation\n<\/h3>
\n \n \n\t\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>
\nElixir Aircraft, a company based in La Rochelle, was created in 2015 to meet the challenges of French light aviation. The French SME's objective: to produce safer, more economical, more environmentally-friendly and more versatile aircraft. Today, complexity is the reason why older-generation aircraft suffer from failures (technical or human) and are expensive to operate (fuel consumption and maintenance). Elixir Aircraft uses Carbon Oneshot, a technology derived from competition sailing, to simplify structures. More simplicity means fewer failures, so greater safety, but also less maintenance, and lower costs (estimates of \u20ac50\/h fuel and maintenance) \u2026
At the end of 2021, Elixir Aircraft opened a new production site to internalize all carbon parts production.\n<\/div>

Arthur L\u00e9opold-L\u00e9ger, the founder of Elixir Aircraft, grew up between La Trinit\u00e9-sur-Mer, a hub of sailing, and Dijon Darois, known for general aviation. His father, initially involved in the nautical industry, sailed with the greats before turning to kit aircraft construction in Darois.
Arthur, influenced by these two worlds, first pursued a career in offshore racing, building his own boat. After a shipwreck during the Mini Transat in 2013, he decided to shift focus to aviation to address the growing need for modern, environmentally friendly training aircraft.<\/p>\n

Together with two friends, he founded Elixir Aircraft, aiming to create more robust, lightweight, and environmentally conscious airplanes. Without financial resources, they developed their project in a garage. In 2017, their aircraft made its first flight. Three weeks later, Arthur undertook his second transatlantic journey.
In 2020, Elixir Aircraft achieved the EASA CS 23 certification, marking a significant milestone. In 2022, the company made its first deliveries. Today, Elixir Aircraft continues to grow, combining innovation and environmental respect, drawing inspiration from the values of the nautical world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/section>
