H55 SA, developer of certified electric propulsion and battery management systems for sustainable aviation, and Aerovolt UK Ltd, a manufacturer of electric aircraft charging solutions, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on advancing electric aviation.
The collaboration focuses on:
- End-to-end electric pilot training: introducing the “first-ever fully” electric Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training programmes with charging infrastructure across regional and local airports.
- Expanding charging networks: Deploying Aerovolt’s public electric aircraft charging stations, with 250+ sites under development worldwide, including the USA, Europe, and Australia. Both H55 and Aerovolt use the CCS charging technology.
- Plug and charge’ technology: Developing seamless software integration for charging operations, using Aerovolt’s proprietary aviation management system, Squadron.
Aerovolt will acquire two BRISTELL B23 Energic aircraft powered by H55’s certified electric propulsion systems. These aircraft will demonstrate the feasibility of sustainable pilot training and will be deployed in the UK at: Devon and Somerset Flight Training, based at Dunkeswell Aerodrome and Squadron Flying Club, at Goodwood Aerodrome.
As part of its “Across America” initiative, H55 will feature Aerovolt’s charging solutions in H55’s efforts to demonstrate the feasibility of coast-to-coast electric aviation.
