Safran and AURA AERO is INTEGRAL and ERA architecture and electric propulsion system of the plane to sign the agreement

Safran to electric power supply company is to be INTEGRAL E flight demonstration machine (electric INTEGRAL) provide propulsion system.This is the AURA of the development of AERO two-seater trainer with stunt flying ability.The prototype will be equipped with a can provide more than 100 kw power intelligent ENGINeUS ™ motor, as well as GENeUSGRID distribution and protection system.Zero carbon dioxide emissions produced by the system, compared with the traditional plane will produce less noise.Expect the INTEGRAL E orders is about 60.First flight plan in 2022, and in 2023 began to delivery.

Safran electrical and power supply company also with the AURA AERO signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), common ERA electrical architecture study.ERA is a the use of electric propulsion of 19 regional commercial aircraft.Such research will focus on providing power for high voltage dc electric motor propulsion architectures.Joint work will also include "push" electrical architecture, other systems for aircraft.It is estimated that the AURA AERO will receive hundreds of orders.This aircraft is expected in 2024 to carry on the first flight, and plans into commercial use in 2027.

Safran electric and electric power supply company division general manager and executive vice President of Herve Blanc said:"Safran electrical and power supply company is very proud to AURA AERO on these two grand aircraft projects to cooperate.The project in all respects in accordance with our strategic goal: disruptive technology, low carbon footprint and electric propulsion.The agreement strengthened us as a equipment electrification and major players in the field of electric and hybrid electric propulsion.It also marks the two at the company -- both in the west had established a strong position in the regional industrial structure, to cooperate."

The AURA AERO co-founder and chief project officer he Dufaud added:"The aircraft manufacturers and aviation electrical system expert company is a joint project between a milestone - if we want to develop electric aircraft, this is very important.In 2022, the cooperation will make 100% electric INTEGRAL E trainer to fly in the blue sky, and will get EASA and FAA certification in 2023.As part of the common goal electric aircraft industrial production, safran is bringing its expertise in high voltage network, it is INTEGRAL and E ERA architecture need.The partnership proves that we are committed to the industry decarburization common determination."
