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.
The company is now advancing two major production programs. Its first aircraft, the two-seat, all-electric Integral E, is set to enter series production. 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.
