Aura Aero, a French aviation startup, said the European Aviation Safety Agency, EASA, has issued a flight conditions approval for the Integral S, a two-seat airplane that the company is developing.
The recent approval, which Aura calls a “prequel” to the aircraft’s first flight, clears the way for the French civil aviation authority, or DGAC, to issue a permit allowing the company to begin flight testing. After successful completion of flight testing, the aircraft would be ready for CS-23 certification, which applies to small aircraft, Aura said.
