The eight-seat eFlyer 800 is being designed as the first all-electric turboprop-class model with target performance of a 320-knot cruise speed and 500 nm of range with IFR reserves. Bye Aerospace continues to work with Safran Electrical & Power to develop the new model’s twin powerplants.
Bye Aerospace Develops 8-Seat eFlyer 800 Electric Aircraft Apr 25, 2021 at 6:49pm ET ++ Bye Aerospace announced an 8-seat all-electric twin turbo-prop class aircraft, the eFlyer 800, envisioned for air-taxi, air-cargo, regional and charter aircraft markets. According to the brief specs, the eFlyer 800 will have quite substantial range of 500 nm nautical miles (575 miles / 926 km) at normal cruise speed of 280 knots (322 mph / 518 km/h), with max payload of 1,540 lbs (699 kg). Moreover, there will be a 45-minute IFR reserve, which sounds like a lot of additional flying in case of emergency...
A smashing Earth Day Extinction Rebellion, the environmental campaign group, was busy celebrating Earth Day last Thursday (April 22nd).
