The Sustainable Trail at AERO 2023 in Germany, winds through all of the massive ‘hangars’ at Messe Friedrichshafen—and tucked into the corner of A7 lies BRM Aero’s sizable stop on the path. Manufacturer of the Bristell SLSA featured on the cover of FLYING’s April 2023/Issue 936, the company has also partnered with Swiss electric propulsion pioneer H55 in its next move, the Bristell B23 Energic.
In a reception hosted on April 19, H55’s André Borschberg, co-founder and executive chairman, joined BRM CEO Milan Brištela in updating on the joint project, based on the Bristell B23 CS-23 certificated two-seat, low-wing airplane.
The B23 Energic is closing in on its own European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) CS-23 type certification, with a robust testing program out of H55’s home base at Sion Airport (LSGS) in Switzerland. The B23 Energic utilizes H55’s EPS 100 kW propulsion system, and should be capable of training missions standard for initial pilot certification, according to the company.
