The manufacturers of the fastest personal jet, the Flaris Lar 1, continue to develop their aircraft. To keep enhancing its features and operational capabilities, FLARIS has sold 50% of its shares to EDGE Group from the United Arab Emirates, an investor in next-generation technologies. The two companies will establish a joint venture. This joint undertaking will help to convert a manned aircraft into an unmanned system and introduce innovative commercial technologies to the defence industry. This is another huge step in the development of Flaris.

The EDGE Group is one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, which, combined with Flaris’ expertise in high-precision aerospace engineering, makes this a strategic project for the aircraft’s development.

The innovations resulting from this joint venture, the aircraft and the solutions offered by Flaris will be showcased at the upcoming Dubai Airshow 2023, which will take place from 13 to 17 November. Representatives of both companies will present the conversion of the Flaris manned aircraft to an unmanned model, leveraging autonomous technologies to meet the dynamic needs of modern defence.

>> Joining forces with EDGE marks a major milestone for Flaris and underscores our shared commitment to engineering excellence and innovation. Their planned developments, especially in autonomous flight and advanced engine technology, align perfectly with our mission of pushing the boundaries of what personal jets can achieve. Our combined expertise will undoubtedly pave the way for further advancements in the aerospace industry.

Mansour AlMulla, Managing Director & CEO of EDGE Group

 „Incorporating Flaris’ engineering capabilities and a broad range of jets into our ecosystem is a strategic move for EDGE which will mark our expansion into jet engine manufacturing and advanced aviation technologies, and add significant value to our high-tech portfolio. We anticipate the opportunities this strategic investment and joint venture brings, particularly in transforming current aviation technologies into unmanned systems.”
