The Elixir Aircraft Elixir is a two-seat, low-wing light aircraft built by Elixir Aircraft in La Rochelle, France. The prototype first flew in 2017, with EASA CS-23 certification following in 2020 and customer production beginning in the early 2020s. It is aimed primarily at flight training, private touring and club use. Its significance comes from its modern composite structure, including the manufacturer’s one-piece molded wing and simplified airframe design, intended to reduce part count, inspection burden and long-term maintenance complexity.
The Elixir is powered by the Rotax 912 iS, a 100 hp, fuel-injected four-cylinder engine using liquid and air cooling. Published performance varies by configuration and equipment, but typical cruise figures are around 130 knots, with a maximum operating altitude commonly listed at 12,000 feet. Range is generally quoted at up to about 750 nautical miles in long-range planning conditions. Useful load depends on avionics, interior and installed options, but is typically in the high-600 lb range. The aircraft has fixed tricycle landing gear and is designed for efficient operation on avgas or unleaded automotive fuel approved for the engine.
The cabin seats two side by side, with a training-oriented layout and good outward visibility from the low-wing configuration. The Elixir is not a four-seat touring aircraft, so buyers comparing it with larger piston singles should focus on mission fit: instruction, local flying and economical cross-country use for two occupants. Avionics are typically Garmin-based rather than Garmin Perspective or G1000. Many aircraft are equipped with Garmin G3X Touch glass cockpit displays, with communications, transponder and navigation equipment varying by VFR, night VFR or IFR specification. Some examples include an airframe parachute system, depending on configuration and market requirements.
Used Elixir Aircraft Elixir availability remains limited because the model is relatively new and much of the fleet is still in flight school or fleet operator service. Buyers should review total hours, training-cycle usage, landing gear condition, composite repair history, Rotax engine records, gearbox and propeller maintenance, software status and compliance with service bulletins. Important differences include VFR versus IFR avionics fit, parachute installation, interior equipment and any operator-specific training modifications. In the used market, the Elixir generally sits as a modern two-seat trainer and personal aircraft alternative to older metal trainers, with value driven more by equipment, certification status and maintenance history than by age alone.
