ELIXIR AIRCRAFT

Small-Medium Enterprise

Elixir Aircraft was created on the idea of designing a new generation part 23 aircraft that meets the challenges of tomorrow's light aviation. Since 2015, Elixir Aircraft has pursued a simple objective: to offer more versatile, safer, greener and more economical aircraft, by providing relevant, modern and innovative answers to the recurring problems encountered by light aviation. Elixir Aircraft is born from a basic observation: complexity is the main source of failures (technical or human) in today's aviation. Exacerbated by an aging aircraft fleet, this complexity is also very expensive in terms of operating cost (fuel & maintenance). To respond to this, Elixir Aircraft has introduced the OneShot carbon process in the design of its aircraft, a technology derived from competitive sailing, allowing it to greatly simplify the structure. More simplicity means fewer areas of failure, therefore safer, this allows for a significant reduction in operating costs (40$/h estimated in fuel and maintenance). In continuous growth since its creation, Elixir Aircraft now employs more than 80 employees, on 2 sites in La Rochelle, France.
