H55, the pioneering Swiss electric propulsion systems company, has begun delivery of conforming, certifiable battery modules to aircraft manufacturer BRM Aero, where the companies have been working to validate full electric power in BRM’s Bristell B23 Energic aircraft.

The batteries’ arrival at BRM marks an important step toward production and sales of the electric-powered trainer, which has performed demonstration flights and generated significant orders in the U.S. and Europe during its yearslong development process.
