THE CHALLENGE:
H55, a Swiss aviation innovator, was on a mission to launch the world’s first fully certified electric propulsion system for commercial aircraft. The application required a motor that could meet the strictest aviation standards while remaining lightweight, reliable, and high-performance.
THE SOLUTION:
Equipmake developed a bespoke electric motor tailored for the Bristell B23 Energic aircraft. Designed for redundancy and efficiency, the system was engineered to comply with EASA certification standards while maintaining the performance profile of combustion-engine equivalents.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS:
- Over 100 propulsion systems ordered for initial deployment
- Certification program aligned with EASA standards
- First customer aircraft to enter service in 2026
- Established Equipmake as a trusted aerospace propulsion partner
WHAT THE CLIENT HAD TO SAY:
“Our collaboration with Equipmake positions us at the forefront of electric aviation. Their motor design is a critical component of our certification roadmap and commercial rollout.”
