Our CCO, accompanied by his sales team and Stephen Fiegel, INTEGRAL R pilot, would like to share the latest developments in our aircraft programs. The arrival of INTEGRAL E, the first 100% electric aircraft in its class, in the United States this year, progress on the ERA program (hybrid-electric regional aircraft), the arrival of the first assembly parts at the Daytona Hangar, INTEGRAL R’s performance in competition.

FlyORKA will share a modern point of view: Flight Training efficiency is important to students, instructors, and operators in the way “health is important to people.” It means students, instructors, and operators, can connect their efforts to understand how to make their next allocation of resources more valuable. Flight Training efficiency allows students, instructors, and operators, to treat their resources like gold, protecting the payoff of flight training. Which in turn makes everyone more successful. We will introduce FlyORKA: the Flight Training Efficiency System designed for learning, mobile, cloud, and the social era, to help pilots in training reach higher pilot capabilities, faster. Flight Training Efficiency is our business.
