Bristell Energic
Silent.
Zero-emission.
Bristell’s all-electric aircraft, developed with H55: a 100 kW motor, a 49 kWh wing-integrated battery, and flight that costs around $7 an hour.

Overview
The future of flight training, today.
Built by BRM Aero and powered by H55, the electric-propulsion spinoff of the Solar Impulse team, the Bristell Energic is a fully electric, two-seat trainer. A 49 kWh battery integrated into the wings feeds a 100 kW motor for silent, zero-emission flight, at roughly $7 per flight hour. One hour of charging delivers 60 minutes of flight plus a 10-minute reserve: purpose-built to cut the cost and the carbon of pilot training.
About
Flying, reimagined as electric.
Open the throttle and the Energic simply goes quiet and pulls. With no engine vibration and no exhaust, the 100 kW electric motor delivers smooth, instant power and a calm cabin from the first takeoff roll. The two-seat layout and a 130 cm cabin give an instructor and student room to work side by side, with state of charge and power always in view.
It is built for the work a flight school does every day. A single one-hour charge covers 60 minutes of flight plus a 10-minute reserve, enough for a full circuit session, and energy costs land around $7 per flight hour. Quiet, clean and roughly 90% cheaper to run than a piston trainer, the Energic turns routine training into zero-emission flying.
Highlights
Built around electric flight.
From the H55 powertrain and wing-integrated batteries to a glass panel with live energy readouts, every detail is built for low-cost, low-noise training flight.
Powered by H55
100 kW electric motor and a 49 kWh battery integrated into the wings, engineered by the team behind Solar Impulse.
Glass cockpit
Dual Garmin G5 flight displays with dedicated motor and energy readouts, GNC 225A radio and GTX 345R transponder.
Near-silent flight
No combustion, no exhaust, just a quiet electric hum. Lower noise footprint for the airfield and a calmer cabin.
Certified electric propeller
A DUC Hélices 3-blade certified propeller, matched to the H55 powertrain for efficient, repeatable performance.
$7 per flight hour
Charging on grid electricity costs around $7 an hour, roughly a 90% saving versus a piston engine on Avgas.
Two redundant battery packs
Two independent battery packs and a liquid-cooled drivetrain, designed for the demands of a flight school.
Interior
A quiet, modern cockpit.
Dual Garmin G5 displays sit alongside dedicated motor and energy readouts, so state of charge and power are always in view. With no engine noise, the cabin stays calm, and every Energic is trimmed to order: your materials, your colors.
The 130 cm cabin gives an instructor and student real room to work, and the wide bubble canopy keeps visibility open all around. It is a quiet, focused place to fly lesson after lesson.
Performance
The numbers that matter.
Real-world figures on the H55 electric powertrain: 60 minutes of flight plus a 10-minute reserve from a single one-hour charge.
A strong 800 ft/min climb and a 110 KTAS cruise give the Energic the performance a training syllabus needs, while energy costs of about $7 per flight hour keep every lesson affordable.
