Electric Sun Flyer 2 Makes First Flight

The Sun Flyer 2, an electric two-seat trainer under development in Denver at Bye Aerospace, successfully completed its first flight on April 10 from Centennial Airport, a milestone the company described as “flawless.”

“As with most first flights, we’re not trying to test any limits at this stage,” said Bye Aerospace founder and CEO George Bye. That will come in the months ahead. However, the engineering and performance parameters measured during what Bye described as a “short and very successful flight” met or exceeded all flight-test targets.
