This collaboration focuses on:

End-to-end electric pilot training: Introducing the first-ever fully electric Private Pilot License (PPL) training program with extensive and reliable charging infrastructure across local and regional airports. Expanding our charging network: We are rapidly rolling out Aerovolt's public electric aircraft charging stations, with more than 250 locations in development around the world, including the United States, Europe and Australia. Both H55 and Aerovolt use CCS, the most popular charging technology, facilitating rapid and widespread adoption. “Plug and Charge” Technology: Using Aerovolt’s proprietary aviation management system, Squadron, we develop seamless software integration for hassle-free charging operations.

Aerovolt adds H55-powered B23 Energy aircraft to UK fleet
As part of its commitment to advancing electric aircraft, Aerovolt will acquire two BRISTELL B23 Energic aircraft equipped with H55 certified electric propulsion systems. These aircraft will play a vital role in demonstrating the feasibility of sustainable pilot training, and will join Devon and Somerset Flight Training, based at Dunkeswell Airfield in the UK, and Aerovolt, based at Goodwood Airfield, in the UK. It is scheduled to be deployed at the main base, Squadron Flying Club.

Together, H55 and Aerovolt are committed to fostering cooperation with airports, flight schools, civil aviation authorities and local governments. By sharing data and insights, we aim to develop new opportunities for sustainable aviation, such as cross-border pilot training programs and long-term partnerships with aviation stakeholders.

Martin Larose, CEO of H55 SA, said: “The future of aviation is electric, and this partnership ensures we are not only preparing for that future, but actively building for it.”

“Electric aircraft are no longer a concept, they are a reality. By working with Aerovolt, we are addressing two of our biggest challenges: scalable charging infrastructure and accessible pilot training. Together, we , we are laying the foundations for a greener and greener aviation industry, not only in Europe but around the world. ”

Philip Kingsley-Dobson, Managing Director of Aerovolt UK Ltd, highlighted the importance of this partnership: By deploying the H55-powered B23 Energic aircraft and integrating it into our network, we are demonstrating the future of pilot training and regional aviation.

“This partnership is about more than just infrastructure, it will transform the way the world thinks about sustainable aviation, from training pilots to empowering airports and aviation authorities. 's charging solutions and together we are creating a roadmap for the next generation of aviation. ”

As part of the visionary Across America initiative, the H55 will feature Aerovolt's innovative charging solutions. Aerovolt's expertise in deploying reliable and scalable charging infrastructure will support H55's efforts to demonstrate the feasibility of coast-to-coast electric aircraft. Together, the companies aim to introduce seamless integration of electric propulsion and charging networks to accelerate the adoption of sustainable aviation across the United States.
