BATTERY SYSTEMS CREATED FOR REAL-WORLD DURABILITY
SION, Switzerland and PALO ALTO, Calif., June 13, 2025/ PRNewswire/– H55, the electrical air travel leader and technological spin-off of the historical Solar Impulse task, finished the 4th stop of its Throughout America trip in Las Vegas from June 2– 6. There, the Swiss-developed electrical propulsion system (EPS) showed itself in among the most requiring flight environments in the nation.
Operating under the severe conditions of the Mojave Desert, the B23 Energic– a completely electrical basic air travel and flight fitness instructor airplane– showed the dependability of electrical propulsion in high heat and low-density elevation conditions. The airplane carried out perfectly, verifying the EPS’s strength and constant power output, no matter temperature level or elevation.
At the heart of the B23 Energic’s efficiency is H55’s exclusive battery and energy management system– crafted to provide peak efficiency even in severe environments. Unlike combustion-based propulsion, which deteriorates in hot and high-altitude conditions, H55’s thermal policy architecture makes sure constant power output and safe operations no matter ambient temperature level.
Flight Presentations Highlight Dependability and Adaptability
The H55 flight operations group– led by Céline Bonnefous (Lead Flight Test Engineer), Sasa Blagec and Serge de Wit (Flight Preparedness Engineers), and Laurent Wulser (Pilot)– performed a series of presentation flights with U.S. Flying force test pilots, airline company and industrial pilots, flight trainers, and basic air travel lover from both Nevada and surrounding U.S. states– under extreme desert heat– revealing no destruction in airplane efficiency.
” The H55 electrical engine isn’t impacted by density elevation,” stated Céline Bonnefous, H55 Lead Flight Test Engineer. ” It provides constant power no matter heat or elevation– unlike piston engines, which count on air density for combustion. In hot or high-altitude conditions, these airplane suffer visible drops in efficiency, particularly throughout launch. That’s a significant benefit for flight schools and local centers running in more requiring environments.”
And What Pilots Are Stating …
Flight schools throughout the nation are experiencing the future of training firsthand. Talking about his experience in the B23 Energic, Paniau Lindsey, Chief Flight Trainer at Vegas Air travel, stated, ” This was my very first time utilizing a center stick, so I believed I ‘d have a hard time– however it was simple. I’m still stunned.
Before flying, I kept believing, We’re going to fly an aircraft without any gas? How’s that going to work?’ Once we were up there, there was no concern at all. It’s extremely peaceful– we even removed our headsets and might still speak to each other. I’m going to speak to my school about this right now. I desire a number of these aircrafts. It’s tidy, easy, peaceful, and flies excellent. Launch was a breeze. Steep turns? No issue. It’s an ideal training airplane. Stunning flight– this is cool.”
Next Stop: The Heart of the Silicon Valley
California has actually long held tactical significance for H55. The business initially landed here in 2013 with Solar Impulse I and once again in 2017 with Solar Impulse II, marking crucial minutes in its journey towards electrical air travel. Silicon Valley played a developmental function in H55’s early advancement– it’s home to the business’s lead financier, ND Capital, together with numerous of H55’s earliest backers.
For the Silicon Valley financial investment neighborhood, this is a high-conviction chance to engage with an item that has actually been flying because 2019, is getting in the last stage of accreditation, and is currently producing industrial traction through a growing order book. The B23 Energic– powered by H55’s certified-ready electrical propulsion system– is not a model; it’s a completely functional airplane
verified through numerous years of screening and presentation. With regulative paths plainly specified through EASA and FAA, and strong need from flight schools, OEMs, and operators, the platform is placed for market entry and scalable implementation. For financiers, it represents an uncommon mix of technological maturity, regulative preparedness, and industrial momentum.
H55 will remain in San Carlos Airport (SQL) at Skyway Center ( June 14-16) and will be hosted in Palo Alto Airport (PAO) by the Bay Location Urban Eagles ( June 17-25), the 5th stop on the trip. The 2 companies are partnering together to present American audiences to the pledge of completely electrical, zero-emission flight– providing peaceful and low-maintenance airplane.
H55 has actually been welcomed by the Hiller Air Travel Museum to be included at their Most significant Little Air Program on 14 June 2025, providing the general public the opportunity to witness the future of electrical air travel up close.
The Introduce of a New Platform
As H55 engages with neighborhoods throughout the nation, it’s likewise constructing a motion around the future of sustainable flight. To support this growing momentum, H55 has actually released its brand-new Ambassador Program and site, welcoming air travel and aerospace experts, market leaders, regulators, and lovers of any ages to sign up with the objective and assistance form the future of tidy air travel.
