George E. Bye, aviation influencer, innovator, and pioneer, founded his second company, Bye Aerospace, to integrate sophisticated aerospace technologies with advanced aerospace energy and design efficiencies.

The company, named one of Colorado’s 2019 “Top Makers” by ColoradoBiz magazine, is flight testing a prototype two-seat electric airplane called “eFlyer 2.” The airplane is targeted to the flight training market to provide more cost-effective flight training opportunities to address the commercial pilot shortage, which is quickly reaching crisis levels on a global scale.

Bye Aerospace intends to revolutionize general aviation by being the first company to receive FAA Part 23 certification for the eFlyer 2.
