In a strategic step that aims to promote the changeover of the market for pilot training aircraft to electrical aircraft, BYE Aerospace and Electro.aero on July 23, 2025 signed a declaration of intent (MOU) at the EAA Airventure OSHKOSH 2025 aviation trade fair to develop sustainable quick load solutions for Eflyyer fleet. This partnership combines the latest drive technology with an aviation -friendly charging infrastructure of the next generation and offers scalable solutions for one of the fastest growing segments of aviation: pilot training.
The cooperation aims at a rapidly growing market. According to Fortune Business Insights, the Global market for pilot training in 2024 estimated at $ 9.37 billion and is expected to Reach $ 24.86 billionwith one Average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7%. In the United States alone, the market for pilot training in 2022 was on $ 1.57 billion and should be until 2030 Reach $ 4.93 billionwith one CAGR of 15.4%.
Bye aerospace is about to be an important milestone: The prototype of the EFlyer 2 in original size is manufactured at Centennial Airport (Kapa) in Colorado. The 40 kW, 80 kW and 240 kW charging devices from Electro.aero-with a portable design and for the 240 kW charger with a double cable function-enable the charge in less than 30 minutes between the flights, including the simultaneous loading of two aircraft with the larger portable loading device. For flight schools, leasing companies and private owners, this high throughput means significant operational and financial efficiency gains.
Rod Zastrow, CEO von Bye Aerospacecommented:
“While we prepare for the first flight of our original size, we are thrilled to work with Electro Aero in order to demonstrate the operational benefit of our combined technologies for this strongly under -provision of pilot training. The pilot training industry needs – and we have the intention of supplying them – airplanes that are less costly, and operational charging systems. We are very pleased that we can now recharge two planes in less than 30 minutes.
Joshua Portlock, COI MNOWPROLRRO AEOadded:
“We at Electro.aero are very happy about the partnership with the industry leader in the area of purely electric rigid wing aircraft. We imagine that our portable quick chargers help to enable the many fully electrical Eflyer flights that are necessary to increase the number of pilot training for airlines, business air trips and other purposes.”
This collaboration is a crucial step on the way to providing commercially sustainable solutions for electrical aviation, which meet both the operational requirements and the infrastructure gaps in highly requested flight environments.
