USA – Bye Aerospace and Electro.Aero have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2025 to jointly develop portable fast-charging solutions for the eFlyer fleet, aiming to accelerate the adoption of electric aircraft in the pilot training sector.

• Partnership merges Bye Aerospace’s electric propulsion expertise with Electro.Aero’s portable charging technology.

• Electro.Aero’s chargers:

  • 40kW and 80kW single-cable portable models.

  • 240kW dual-cable portable model enabling simultaneous charging of two aircraft in under 30 minutes.

• Charging systems designed to improve aircraft utilisation rates and reduce operational downtime for flight schools, leasing operators, and private owners.

• Bye Aerospace nearing completion of its full-scale eFlyer 2 prototype at Centennial Airport (KAPA), Colorado, with first flight approaching.

Statements

• Rod Zastrow, CEO of Bye Aerospace: “As we prepare for our full-scale prototype’s inaugural flight, we’re thrilled to partner with Electro Aero… Our customers can finally meet the demanding pace of flight instruction with reliability, efficiency and drastically lower operating costs.”

• Joshua Portlock, CEO of Electro.Aero: “We envision our portable fast chargers helping generate the many all-electric eFlyer flights needed to increase the rate of pilot training output for airlines, business aviation, and other uses.”
