AURA AERO SAS

AURA AERO SAS is engaged in the design and manufacturing of aircraft with an emphasis on eco-friendly aviation technology. Founded in 2018 in France, the company was established by Fabien Raison, Jeremy Caussade (CEO) and Wilfried Dufaud. In April 2026, AURA AERO raised USD 50 million in series B funding co-led by Safran Corporate Ventures, Florida Opportunity Fund, Blast. Club, European Innovation Council, EDF Group, Bpifrance and Innovacom.

This round was a part of larger EUR 340 million grant, debt and series B funding. AURA AERO specializes in the design, manufacture, and assembly of advanced aircraft, focusing primarily on electric and eco-friendly aviation solutions. Their flagship products include the INTEGRAL family of aircraft, specifically the INTEGRAL R, a two-seat advanced training aircraft known for its exceptional aerobatic capabilities and safety features, and the INTEGRAL E, a fully electric two-seat aircraft designed for environmentally sustainable flight. These aircraft are equipped with technology aimed at enhancing flight performance and safety, addressing the industry's need for decarbonized air transport.

AURA AERO serves a diverse clientele, including aviation training organizations, private flight schools, and environmentally-conscious consumers across multiple global markets, including Europe, North America, and the Middle East. Their commitment to sustainability is reflected in their innovative approach to aircraft design, utilizing bio-sourced and recycled materials to minimize environmental impact and align with the industry's future mobility needs. AURA AERO's revenue model is primarily based on the sales of their advanced aircraft to educational institutions and private operators, along with potential partnerships in the aviation sector. The company engages in direct-to-consumer transactions, providing tailored solutions for customers seeking modern training aircraft and sustainable flying options.

Revenue is generated through these direct sales and partnerships, where clients may also benefit from ongoing maintenance and support services, which further enhance customer satisfaction and retention. The company plans to use the April 2026 funding to accelerate industrial scale-up, support certification and first flight milestones, and build manufacturing capacity in France and the United States.
