  • From April to August 2025, H55 will deliver real-world electric flight demonstrations with VIP guests — stopping at key aviation events including SUN’n FUN in Florida and EAA AirVenture in Wisconsin.

“We pioneered electric aviation with Solar Impulse, crossing the U.S. in 2016 during our flight around the world,” says André Borschberg, H55 Co-Founder and Executive Chairman. “Now we’re back—not with a prototype, but with an aircraft to be commercialized, with deliveries starting a next year. The B23 Energic is bringing electric flight to pilot training and general aviation.”

Targeted at flight schools, aero clubs, military academies, and private pilots, the B23 Energic, powered by H55’s certified electric propulsion and battery technology, and manufactured by Bristell offers considerable benefits over conventional aircraft: lower operating costs, efficient and quiet compared to similar combustion model aircraft.

“Aviation is at a turning point,” says Kristen Jurn, H55’s U.S. Sales Manager. “Electrification isn’t coming—it’s here. This tour is about more than showcasing an aircraft. It’s about proving electric aviation is ready for scale. As a pilot, I believe the U.S. market, known for embracing innovation, will respond strongly to a solution that delivers both performance and efficiency”.

“The B23 Energic represents a fundamental shift in how we think about aviation,” says Martin Larose, CEO of H55. “Electric flight is no longer a future concept; it’s a certified, operational solution ready to deliver real value today. What sets H55 apart is our integrated approach: we don’t just build propulsion systems, we deliver a complete electric aviation ecosystem—from energy storage and performance optimization to certification support”. While we started with general aviation, H55 is now expanding its reach with customer applications in regional air mobility and commercial aviation”.

The Across America Tour is more than a showcase of a groundbreaking aircraft—it’s a powerful demonstration of how electric aviation can scale and redefine the future of flight. As part of this momentum, H55 is steadily advancing toward key certification milestones: battery certification requirements will be completed by mid-2025, followed by full electric propulsion system (EPS), with U.S. and Canadian approvals to follow. These achievements will cement H55’s position as a trusted and certified provider of electric propulsion solutions for the next generation of aircraft. It’s an exciting moment for aviation—and Across America is a rare opportunity to experience that future, up close and in the air:
