St. Truiden, Belgium – Cosmic Aerospace marked a major milestone in electric aviation on September 9, 2025, with its first Hangar & Flight Day at DronePort in St. Truiden, Belgium. The event featured the European debut flight of CX2, the company’s subscale prototype of Skylark, an all-electric regional aircraft designed to fly 1,000 km with 24 passengers.

CX2’s successful demonstration flight represents a key step toward Cosmic Aerospace’s mission to deliver affordable, fast, and sustainable air travel. By rethinking both the engine and airframe, Cosmic is developing a fully integrated system that achieves unmatched efficiency and reliability for regional routes.

“CX2’s flight in Europe demonstrates the rapid progress our team has made in bringing scalable, zero-emission aviation to reality,” said Christopher Chahine, CEO and Co-Founder of Cosmic Aerospace. “We’re proving that electric regional flight isn’t just possible - it’s economically compelling.”

DronePort provided the ideal setting for the milestone event. With a 3 km runway, dedicated airspace, and state-of-the-art test facilities, DronePort is more than an airport—it’s a launchpad for carbon-free, scalable aviation. Regional airports like DronePort will form the backbone of the future mobility network: close to communities, less congested than major hubs, and able to offer fast, direct connections that bring people and regions together.

The event drew a diverse audience of industry leaders, policymakers, and innovators who share Cosmic Aerospace’s vision of transforming regional air travel.
