At 10:30am, Daniel Serres, Elixir Aircraft’s test pilot, seats down in the Elixir. After 5 days of ground tests, the D days is there. Fox Romeo Whiskey Lima X-ray Romeo, taxing for a flight test. Daniel lets the Ryanair Boeing 737 taking-off and takes place on the La Rochelle airport’s runway. A U-turn and the aircraft is line-up. A last call to the control tower and the green light is given, X-ray Romeo clear for take-off. Quickly the wheel leaves the ground. An incredible moment where the team doesn’t realize, the Elixir is flying!
Â
The aircraft climbs to 5,000ft and disappears in the blue sky. 45min later, it is back on the airfield. Everything went very well. The Elixir will take-off 2 hours later for another flight before to reach its new destination: the ULM Blois airshow, by the road this time.
