The hybrid-electric demonstrator, acquired alongside VoltAero’s assets, has resumed flight testing at Rochefort under the X-Volt name.

Safran is to develop and integrate turbogenerators for the ERA prototype, paving the way for the series production of its propulsion system.

The transaction enhances Aura Aero’s hybrid-electric development capacity through the integration of VoltAero’s engineering expertise, demonstrator aircraft and flight testing data
