H55 has signed an agreement with Safran Electrical & Power to integrate the EASA-certified ENGINeUS electric motor into its propulsion system for the fully electric Bristell B23 Energic aircraft. This partnership combines Safran’s motor technology with H55’s energy storage and integration expertise, advancing certification for general aviation.
The Bristell B23 Energic, a two-seat trainer developed by Czech manufacturer BRM Aero, targets the expanding electric pilot training market under CS-23/Part 23 Level 1 and 2 rules. H55 recently delivered certifiable battery modules to BRM Aero, marking a key step in aircraft-level validation.
Safran will support prototype development and serial production starting in 2027, including in-service maintenance. The ENGINeUS motor stands as the only EASA-certified option available, accelerating certified solutions for 2-6 seat aircraft.
This integration strengthens the B23 Energic’s path to market entry, addressing operational demands in flight schools with zero-emission training capabilities. The collaboration positions H55 and partners to capture demand in sustainable general aviation propulsion.
