Source: H55 H55's electric aircraft flies so quiet, that during a noise measurement test, the Bristell B23 Energic powered by H55 propulsion system was so quiet that the electric aircraft flew without triggering three of six official noise-monitoring sensors. On 11 July 2025, the B23 Energic flew identical flight paths alongside a comparable piston-engine across the airport's six official noise-monitoring stations: 3 of 6 sensors recorded no aircraft noise—the B23 flew below ambient sound thresholds (60 dB) The remaining sensors registered the B23 Energic at 1/10th of intensity of the noise measured in comparison to the piston aircraft "Electric aviation isn't the future—it's here," said Michael Fronapfel, CEO of Centennial Airport. "The B23 Energic offers noise levels so low, they're [...]
