Bye Aerospace CEO George Bye said: “One of Quantum Air’s goals is to disrupt aviation, providing more accessible, cost-efficient, high-speed air transportation solutions including FAA Part 135 on-demand air taxi travel to help alleviate the noise and CO2 emissions challenges that accompany traditional internal combustion aircraft.”
Bye Aerospace said that the on-demand air-taxi is designed for its all-electric eFlyer 4s.

Bye Aerospace said that the development of the FAA FAR 23-certified family of eFlyer general aviation aircraft is currently underway and ready for the flight training mission.
The company’s existing and future fleet of eFlyer 2, as well as the eFlyer 4, will feature unique engineering, research, and electric aircraft solutions that do not produce any carbon emissions.
Its aircraft fleet is designed according to market standards, operating at reduced cost with zero emissions and decreased noise.
Last August, Bye Aerospace completed the maiden flight of the solar electric technology demonstrator prototype of its StratoAirNet and Solesa families of medium-altitude aircraft at Northern Colorado Regional Airport in the US.
