Electric eFlyer 2 Cleared to Fly as Bye Aerospace Nears Flight Test Phase

Bye Aerospace's eFlyer 2 has been issued a Special Airworthiness Certificate by the FAA, the clearance a prototype needs before it can legally take to the air for testing. The certificate does not make the aircraft production-ready; it authorizes flight under FAA oversight so the program can begin gathering the data required for full type certification. For an electric aircraft still working toward the market, this is the procedural green light that comes before engineers, not customers, get in the cockpit.
