About Elixir Aircraft

Elixir Aircraft is a French aerospace manufacturer based in La Rochelle, founded in 2015.

The company focuses on producing the Elixir, a two-seat light aircraft designed to enhance safety and efficiency in general aviation. By applying advanced sailing technologies, Elixir aims to create a lighter and more cost-effective aircraft with a simplified structure, featuring only nine primary parts. The Elixir aircraft is certified by both the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the FAA, making it suitable for flight training and personal touring. It incorporates OneShot Carbon Composite technology, which allows for the entire wing and fuselage to be molded in single pieces, eliminating the need for rivets and glue. The aircraft is powered by a 100-hp engine that significantly reduces CO2 emissions and includes safety features like anti-deflagration fuel tanks and a durable parachute. Elixir Aircraft is expanding its operations internationally, particularly in the United States, and is committed to developing future variants, including a turbine-powered version compatible with sustainable fuels. The company serves flight schools, personal pilots, and institutional markets, with notable orders from Cirrus Aviation and ENAC.
