H55 Redefines Noise Standards at Major U.S. Airport

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.
