Official unveiling of INTEGRAL R to the US market at Sun ‘n Fun, from 1 to 6 April 2025

AURA AERO will be exhibiting at Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo, the second largest aviation expo in the US, in Lakeland, Florida. For the first time, the manufacturer will present to the American public its two-seater training aircraft with aerobatic capabilities, INTEGRAL R. The US is a major market for INTEGRAL, being the largest training market, with nearly 600 FAA approved flight schools, over 75,000 pilots and a growing demand for modern, cost-effective training aircraft with aerobatic capabilities. With FAA certification underway, the INTEGRAL family of aircraft offer an advanced, efficient solution for both traditional and electric flight training, making it a strong contender in the US market.

At the show, Jérémy Caussade,President & co-founder, the commercial team, led by Drew McEwen, Chief Commercial Officer, and Antoine Blin, Chief of Staff, will be delighted to present, on stand MD-029B, their recently certified side-by-side two-seater latest generation aircraft, designed for training, leisure and aerobatics. INTEGRAL R was certified by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency last December, and deliveries to the first European customers are starting in March, while FAA certification is expected this year. Mike Goulian, American aerobatics champion, is the official ambassador for INTEGRAL in North

America, and will be present at the AURA AERO booth on 3 April from 9:30 to 10:00.

The INTEGRAL range offers 3 models, for the most complete flight experience:

• INTEGRAL R, designed for aerobatics: tailwheel and thermal SEP engine / EASA certified / FAA certification expected by the end of 2025 / European deliveries starting in March this year;
• INTEGRAL S, designed for training and leisure: nosewheel and thermal SEP engine / EASA certification and first deliveries expected in S2 this year;
• INTEGRAL E, the full-electric version of R and S: currently performing its flight test campaign / certification expected in 2026.

Powered by Lycoming (thermal version) or Safran (electric version), adapted for UPRT and VFR training, INTEGRAL is the most reliable, high-performing and safe aircraft in its category, suited for both civil and military use. INTEGRAL boasts on-board avionics that is outstanding for this type of aircraft, enabling pilots to access all the data to analyze their flights and benefit from predictive maintenance to anticipate breakdowns. INTEGRAL is also the first aircraft in its category to feature a whole aircraft rescue parachute.

The European manufacturer is currently expanding its footprint in the US, with the opening this summer of a hangar at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Research Park in Florida for the assembly, delivery and customer support of INTEGRAL aircraft for the US market, in the frame of a partnership with the world’s leading aeronautical university.
