Connect. Protect. Elevate.
AURA AERO is a French aerospace group that designs, industrializes, and manufactures next-generation civil and military aircraft to connect territories,
protect nations, and accelerate the transition toward a more sovereign and sustainable European sky.
AURA AERO
Founded in 2018 at Toulouse-Francazal Airport, AURA AERO is a modern aircraft manufacturer built on a digital foundation to develop innovative solutions addressing the aviation industry’s key challenges: sustainability, safety and sovereignty.
Led by three engineers – Jérémy Caussade, Wilfried Dufaud and Fabien Raison – the company combines technological excellence with a strong commitment to making aviation more sustainable and efficient.
M BY AURA
M is AURA AERO’s defense branch, dedicated to developing innovative aerospace solutions for armed forces. Building on the industrial and certification capabilities of an established aircraft manufacturer, M designs and produces aircraft, unmanned aerial systems and digital solutions tailored to the operational requirements of modern missions.
Through rapid prototyping capabilities, a design-to-cost approach and the integration of advanced technologies such as innovative propulsion systems, fly-by-wire controls and intelligent onboard systems, M supports armed forces in developing next-generation air superiority solutions, from initial requirements definition through to operational deployment.
AIR MENUISERIE
Air Menuiserie is the only organization approved by both EASA and the FAA to perform BK repairs, an exclusive technique that reinforces wooden spars through the addition of carbon fiber. This rare expertise, applied with the highest standards of precision and craftsmanship, places Air Menuiserie at the forefront of artisanal innovation in the aerospace industry.
As a key contributor to the production of the INTEGRAL aircraft family, Air Menuiserie leverages its wood-carbon expertise to enhance performance and safety. Committed to passing on its know-how, the company also plays an active role in training our aeronautical woodworkers, helping preserve and sustain this exceptional craft for future generations.

Rapid prototyping and development
AURA AERO benefits from strong rapid prototyping and development capabilities, enabling the company to design, test, and refine new aircraft architectures in close alignment with operational requirements. This technological agility is a key driver of innovation, helping accelerate development cycles and de-risk industrial decisions ahead of serial production.
Serial production and production ramp-up
AURA AERO relies on an established industrial base, anchored by its Toulouse-Francazal facility and complemented by its U.S. operations, to support the production of its aircraft. The company is also developing two new 50,000 m² industrial facilities, designed to integrate modern, highly automated, and robotics-enabled manufacturing capabilities.
This industrial strategy is designed to efficiently support serial production across AURA AERO’s programs while enabling production ramp-up at scale, all while maintaining the highest standards of quality, performance, and safety.
Digitalization and safety
Technological innovation lies at the heart of AURA AERO’s approach. The company is developing a new generation of aircraft built on an integrated technology platform, combining innovative propulsion solutions, modern avionics architectures, and advanced digital systems.
Designed as fully integrated systems, these aircraft bring together next-generation propulsion, embedded software, and data-driven capabilities to become smarter, more connected, and progressively more autonomous. This holistic approach enables continuous optimization of performance, operational efficiency, and safety.
By leveraging data platforms and scalable embedded systems, AURA AERO is helping shape a safer, more efficient aviation industry, designed to meet the needs of tomorrow.
AURA AERO
first aerospace company awarded by the Innovation Fund, with €95 million in funding
We are proud to be the first aerospace company selected by the European Union’s Innovation Fund to receive a grant funded through carbon credits, as defined by the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) — one of the largest funding programs in the world for the deployment of innovative low-carbon technologies.
