H55 selects Safran ENGINeUS to power Bristell B23 Energic electric trainer, with serial production set for 2027

Swiss electrification specialist H55 has chosen Safran Electrical & Power’s ENGINeUS motor to propel the battery-powered Bristell B23 Energic, a 100% electric trainer. Safran will support both prototype and serial phases starting in 2027, as the partners push certification and scale.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The ENGINeUS decision brings a major European avionics/propulsion supplier into a certified electric training aircraft program, tightening the propulsion supply chain for what targets 2027 serial production.
  • The move directly follows H55’s regulator-witnessed lithium-ion propulsion battery module test sequence clearing an EASA certification path (source:649fa3dc-9c22-4992-b323-87a81dcedc78), indicating the program is progressing from components to an end-to-end electrified aircraft.
  • For OEMs and suppliers tracking electrification risk, it’s a clear signal of how certification-ready motor integration and serial-production support are being structured between airframe developers (H55/Bristell) and propulsion specialists (Safran).
