H55 has selected Safran Electrical & Power’s EASA-certified ENGINeUS electric motor for integration into its propulsion system powering the fully electric Bristell B23 Energic aircraft. The agreement, announced April 13, 2026, combines Safran’s motor technology with H55’s energy storage and integration expertise to target the growing electric pilot training market.
This partnership accelerates certification for general aviation’s first commercial electric two-seater, with prototype and serial production support starting in 2027. Safran will provide in-service support, enhancing operational reliability for flight schools and private pilots.
The Bristell B23 Energic, developed by Czech firm BRM Aero with H55, builds on recent battery module deliveries completed April 8, 2026, in Sion, Switzerland, and Kunovice, Czech Republic. Those certifiable modules mark a key integration milestone toward aircraft-level validation.
By leveraging ENGINeUS in H55’s system, the program positions the B23 Energic as a benchmark for zero-emission light aircraft, addressing demand in training fleets where lower costs and sustainability drive adoption. This deal strengthens supply chain maturity for certified electric propulsion in aviation.
