Source: H55 Battery Systems Designed for Real-World Resilience H55, the electric aviation pioneer and technological spin-off of the historic Solar Impulse project, completed the fourth stop of its Across America tour in Las Vegas from June 2–6. There, the Swiss developed electric propulsion system (EPS) proved itself in one of the most demanding flight environments in the country. Operating under the extreme conditions of the Mojave Desert, the B23 Energic—a fully electric general aviation and flight trainer aircraft—demonstrated the reliability of electric propulsion in high heat and low-density altitude conditions. The aircraft performed flawlessly, validating the EPS's resilience and consistent power output, regardless of temperature or elevation. At the heart of the B23 Energic's performance is H55's proprietary battery and [...]
