French Elixir Aircraft Begins Delivery of First Trainer Aircraft to the U.S. Market

en.Wedoany.com Reported - French manufacturer Elixir Aircraft has announced that the first aircraft destined for the U.S. market have begun delivery, heading to Florida and Arizona. Florida-based flight school Cirrus Aviation is the company's first U.S. customer, having ordered 10 aircraft. Scottsdale, Arizona-based Sierra Charlie Aviation is also expected to receive its first Elixir aircraft, following a previously signed pre-order for 100 units.

Arthur Léopold-Léger, President and Co-founder of Elixir Aircraft, stated: "The start of deliveries to the United States marks a decisive milestone for Elixir Aircraft. It is the culmination of a decade of work and reflects the trust placed in us by key partners such as Cirrus Aviation and Sierra Charlie Aviation. Seeing our aircraft soon flying in American skies, and then arriving in Oshkosh, fills our entire team with immense pride."

The two-seat trainer aircraft, which received EASA CS-23 certification in 2020 and FAA FAR Part 23 certification in July 2025, features a one-piece carbon fiber structure designed to reduce the number of parts and maintenance requirements. The first three aircraft located in the U.S. will be on display at the AirVenture airshow. Founded in 2015, Elixir Aircraft currently has 50 aircraft in operation worldwide and an order book of over 300 aircraft, encompassing confirmed orders, pre-orders, and letters of intent.
