## About

Founded in 2015 by Arthur Léopold-Léger and Cyril Champenois, Elixir Aircraft is headquartered in La Rochelle, France. In June 2026, Elixir Aircraft raised USD 51 million in series C funding led by Bpifrance Investissement, with participation from Innovacom, and Odyssee Venture. 
Elixir Aircraft specializes in the design and manufacturing of innovative light aircraft, primarily the Elixir model, tailored for applications such as flight training and personal travel. The aircraft is noted for its glass cockpit and enhanced fuel efficiency, achieving nearly 70% more fuel efficiency compared to traditional certified aircraft. The Elixir is EASA CS-23 certified and is also in the process of pursuing FAA Part-23 certification, ensuring compliance with high safety standards. The primary clientele includes flying clubs, flight training organizations, and aeronautical academies, with notable customers like Egnatia Aviation and Leading Edge Aviation who have adopted Elixir aircraft into their fleets.
The company plans to use the June 2026 funding to accelerate its industrial scale-up, consolidate its production facilities, expand its international commercial footprint in the United States and India, and launch the Equinox aircraft programme.
