Airbus Flight Academy Sign MoU with AURA AERO to decarbonise pilot training

Airbus Flight Academy Europe has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AURA AERO, to jointly approach decarbonisation for pilot training by introducing electric-powered aircraft for commercial and military pilot formation. Under this agreement, Airbus Flight Academy Europe will collaborate on the initial development of INTEGRAL E, a fully-electric, two-seater trainer aircraft, ideally suited for initial stages of pilot training. While operating from an airfield equipped with superchargers, the INTEGRAL E aircraft can be charged in 20 to 30 minutes, granting the aircraft an hour of flight endurance. “Our target at Airbus Flight Academy is to operate a low-carbon aircraft
