FUTURE FLIGHT |

AOPA will work with each municipality to determine the most appropriate
gathering strategy for each event. The
association will ensure it meets and
exceeds Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention and government guidelines at
the time of the event. AOPA plans to provide a unique event layout that will allow
for increased social distancing, appropriate face coverings and barriers as needed,
and enhanced cleaning as recommended
by medical professionals.
AOPA also will limit attendance (preregistration required with no " walk-up "
admission permitted) to meet crowd-size
limitations that may be in effect at the
time of the event.
" The Air Tour events are purposely
much smaller than our traditional largescale regional fly-ins, " said Eads. " They
are simple gatherings in a single venue,
with the goal to provide interaction with
AOPA leaders, fellow aviators, and local
airports and aviation businesses. On our
Air Tour, we will not have a large exhibit
hall and our educational content will be
limited to our Air Safety Institute keynote. But the Aviator Showcase events will
feature all the exhibit hall and aircraft display experiences our members enjoy. "
AOPA's presence at the large annual
shows such as Sun 'n Fun, which is scheduled for April 13 through 18 in Lakeland,
Florida-and EAA AirVenture, set for
July 26 through August 1-will represent
all AOPA's products and services, but the
educational programming pavilion will be
a scaled-down gathering space for more
informal presentations and content.
Plans for events such as the AOPA
You Can Fly High School Symposium,
scheduled for November 14 through 16 in
Orlando, Florida, continue.
" In these challenging times, we must
keep safety our first concern, so we invite
you to continue to check our website for
updates to all planned events, " said Eads.
" We all hope to see you soon. "

Buy electric
Bye Aerospace reports orders for more than 700 eFlyers
BYE AEROSPACE announced a course
change in the development of its all-electric airplanes, turning to Safran Electrical
and Power to propel certification prototypes and production aircraft.
CEO George Bye's Denver-based
company also reported having purchase
agreements in place for 711 aircraft,
including the two-seat eFlyer 2 and fourseat eFlyer 4. The company is pursuing
FAA certification of the two-seater for
flight training, and the four-seat version
with air taxi service in mind. Bye also
announced an agreement with Safran
that will put Safran's ENGINeUS electric
smart motors under the cowlings of both
eFlyer variants.
That's a shift from electric powerplant supplier Rolls-Royce, which had
provided motors for Bye's eFlyer development program.
" We had an important and fruitful collaboration with the Rolls-Royce team on
the eFlyer 2 research and development
phase, successfully achieving a number
of significant technical and performance
milestones on the journey towards certification, " Bye said. " A great deal was
learned by both parties as a result of this
work. Unfortunately, we were unable to

reach a mutual commercial proposition
that would allow our demonstration program to progress to full production. We
are pleased the Safran ENGINeUS electric smart motor is the motor selected
for the next phase of certification and
production. "
Safran's ENGINeUS line of electric
motors can be configured in a range of
sizes, producing up to 500 kilowatts (670
horsepower).
Bye noted that the company expects
the current list of 711 eFlyer purchase
agreements will continue to grow, " and we
must continue forward at a high-tempo
pace to meet the demands of aviation
enthusiasts worldwide who have been
waiting years for all-electric airplanes to
come to market. "
Bye hopes to be the first to achieve
FAA certification of an electric aircraft,
a development that will reduce carbon
emissions from the aircraft to zero and cut
hourly operating costs dramatically. The
company revealed its airframe parachute
selection in August 2020, after announcing in July that venture capital investment
is in place to complete the eFlyer 2 production-conforming prototype.
