H55 Completes EASA Certification Tests for Electric Aircraft Propulsion Batteries
H55 has successfully completed EASA-approved certification tests for its electric aircraft propulsion battery module, marking a significant step toward the commercialization of electric aviation. The rigorous six-month testing campaign confirmed the safe integration of lithium battery cells into aviation systems, and H55 is poised to receive certification for its Energy Storage System while also pursuing US certification in collaboration with the FAA. The company's batteries are designed to power aircraft such as the BRM B23 Energic and support hybrid-electric programs.

Swiss company H55 has completed the first EASA-approved certification tests for its propulsion battery module, crucial for the commercialization of electric aircraft. The six-month testing campaign, finished in December, involved rigorous environmental and safety evaluations, including thermal runaway tests.
H55 produced over 100 test articles, ensuring serial production compliance. The tests confirm that lithium battery cells can be safely integrated into aviation propulsion systems. H55 holds both EASA Design Organisation Approval and Production Organisation Approval for electric propulsion systems.
The company's batteries, with a capacity of 104 kWh, are set to power aircraft like the BRM B23 Energic and participate in hybrid-electric programs. H55 anticipates receiving EASA certification for its Energy Storage System soon, with plans for US certification supported by collaboration with the FAA.
