Aside from the eventual day when Bye Aerospace announces that they have received FAA certification for their eFlyer 2 all-electric two-seat training aircraft, the release of details about their eFlyer 800 twin-engine turboprop-class all-electric model now in development may be the most significant news to come out of the Colorado-based company to date.
