First All-Electric Training Fleet Planned for Colorado Six H55-Powered B23 Energics Mark First U.S. Fleet Purchase.
Centennial Airport-based flight school Centennial Flyers has ordered six all-electric Bristell B23 Energic training aircraft powered by Swiss manufacturer H55, becoming the first operator in Colorado to introduce the model and H55’s first U.S. fleet customer. The aircraft are planned for use in the school’s training program.
Bristell’s avgas-powered B23 earned FAA type certification in September.
