As per March 2005, the configuration, the engine choice, the external aircraft envelope (comprising aerodynamics) and the drawings of the main details are finished and modelled on 3D-CAD software. 

Roughly, the next steps which will take place during the following months will be:

  1. to confirm and refine the aerodynamics by mean of CFD analysis (comprising high-lift devices)
  2. to test the transmission on a rigid test bed and then in a firewall forward fuselage mockup
  3. to assess the aerodynamics using a flying model
  4. to review the stress report and freeze the structural design
  5. to build the molds for the composite parts and manufacture the metallic parts for the prototype
  6. to assemble the prototype
  7. to test fly the prototype
  8. to implement any improvements/mofications in the mold and produce parts
  9. to assemble 2 preserial aircraft and assess the assembly process
  10. to commercialize the aircraft as a kitplane

Once the above milestones are reached successfully, 3 aircraft will be flying and will promote the design and take part to meetings worldwide.
