Arthur Léopold-Léger, the founder of Elixir Aircraft, grew up between La Trinité-sur-Mer, a hub of sailing, and Dijon Darois, known for general aviation. His father, initially involved in the nautical industry, sailed with the greats before turning to kit aircraft construction in Darois.
Arthur, influenced by these two worlds, first pursued a career in offshore racing, building his own boat. After a shipwreck during the Mini Transat in 2013, he decided to shift focus to aviation to address the growing need for modern, environmentally friendly training aircraft.
Together with two friends, he founded Elixir Aircraft, aiming to create more robust, lightweight, and environmentally conscious airplanes. Without financial resources, they developed their project in a garage. In 2017, their aircraft made its first flight. Three weeks later, Arthur undertook his second transatlantic journey.
In 2020, Elixir Aircraft achieved the EASA CS 23 certification, marking a significant milestone. In 2022, the company made its first deliveries. Today, Elixir Aircraft continues to grow, combining innovation and environmental respect, drawing inspiration from the values of the nautical world.
