Aura Aero lève 50 M€ et bascule dans l’ère industrielle
法国航空初创公司Aura Aero近日完成5000万欧元B轮融资，标志着公司正式从研发阶段迈入工业化生产新阶段。至此，公司累计融资额已达3.4亿欧元。
此次融资将主要用于推进其混合动力支线飞机ERA的产业化进程。目前该机型已获得20架确认订单，公司正在图卢兹和佛罗里达同步建设两座生产工厂，全面启动制造体系建设。
Aura Aero成立于2018年，专注于电动与混合动力航空技术研发。此次战略转型意味着公司技术路线已通过市场验证，开始向规模化制造阶段迈进。随着全球航空业减排压力增大，混合动力飞机正成为区域航空运输的重要技术方向。
Toulouse-based aerospace startup Aura Aero has secured €50 million in a Series B funding round, marking its transition from a development-stage company to an industrial-scale manufacturer. The fresh capital brings the company’s total funding to €340 million.

Concurrently, Aura Aero is progressing with its larger, 19-seat hybrid-electric regional aircraft, the ERA, which has already secured 20 firm orders.
To support this manufacturing ramp-up, Aura Aero is constructing two new factories. A facility in Toulouse will produce the Integral E, while a plant in Florida, USA, will be dedicated to manufacturing the ERA. This dual-site strategy underscores the company's commitment to scaling production for both its training and regional aviation markets.
Avec 340 millions d’euros de financements cumulés, 20 commandes fermes pour ERA, son futur avion régional hybride-électrique, et deux usines en construction à Toulouse et en Floride, la start-up aéronautique toulousaine ne développe plus ses programmes, elle les produit.
