Marks Important Milestone Towards EASA CS-23 Certification

After several months of work, Elixir Aircraft has reached an important milestone regarding EASA CS-23 certification. The OneShot Elixir wing has successfully passed its resistance test.

The company had voluntarily carried out a major repair on one side of the wing, while simulating impacts at each root to put it in the most extreme conditions possible.

The test was successful in three main aspects:

• In accordance with the requirements of EASA CS-23, the test demonstrated the safety of the wing's OneShot structure.
• The repair process is validated.
• The wing remains safe even when it has impacts.

This success confirms the interest of OneShot parts, which are at the heart of the 4th generation of light aircraft.

At the same time, industrialization is progressing with almost completed production plans and an expansion of manufacturing facilities. The company now has 8,600 square feet to produce its first airplanes, which the company says is an ideal situation as it moves to La Rochelle airport in France.

Elixir reports that it has 76 pre-orders, 3 of the most recent coming from the Aéro Touring Club de France, a major aeroclub near Paris.
