Elixir Aircraft announced a few updates at this year's Aero, ranging from coveted CS-23 certification, to a new trim level boasting a Rotax 915iS Turbo.

Elixir Aircraft showed off their spiffy new CS-23 approval at the show, which has spurred them on to greatly expand their manufacturing capability with such a large, wide ranging market at stake. The French manufacturer holds more than 40 backorders for aircraft. Vertical Aviation Technologies has announced that it's on the hunt for a strategic partner for the manufacture of their Hummingbird S-52L helicopter. The S-52L is a 4-spot helo based on the older Sikorsky S-52 with a bevy of modifications, new tech, materials, and processes. The end result, Vertical says, is a much more modern, safe, and higher performing aircraft. Sonaca has announced the addition of 2 more trim levels of the marque's 200 Trainer aircraft. The first, the Sonaca 200 NG, takes the regular 2-seater trainer and equips it for VFR night flight. Taking the traditional 6 pack of instruments from the day aircraft, with electronic engine monitoring and a radio stack. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
