About Bye Aerospace

Pioneering
electric aviation.

Founded in 2014 in Colorado, Bye Aerospace is leading the industry toward FAA certification of the world's first all-electric Part 23 training aircraft.

At Bye Aerospace, we advance bold engineering at the intersection of electric propulsion, aircraft design, and FAA certification — redefining what's possible in general aviation.

The world needs more pilots. Flight schools need more aircraft. Students need lower costs. The eFlyer series is purpose-built from the ground up to solve all three — a clean-sheet, aerodynamically efficient design engineered specifically for the training mission, with every decision driven by safety, economics, and sustainability.

Founded in 2014 in Colorado, Bye Aerospace has grown from proving the viability of all-electric propulsion to leading the industry in FAA certification. The eFlyer 2 is on track to become the world's first FAA Part 23, Amendment 64 certified all-electric training aircraft.
