Colorado, USA – Centennial Flyers, a flight school based at Centennial Airport (Denver area), has ordered six all-electric training aircraft — the Bristell B23 Energic powered by electric-propulsion specialist H55 — marking the first all-electric training fleet in Colorado.

• The Bristell B23 Energic is a two-seat, low-wing aircraft adapted from the conventional B23 but equipped with electric motors and batteries, offering up to 70 minutes of flight time per charge.
• Centennial Flyers expects the first two aircraft to be delivered in 2027, with the remaining four units following in 2028 — subject to the aircraft’s certification timeline.
• The school emphasises the environmental and community benefits: the electric trainer produces significantly lower noise levels (noise tests during H55’s U.S. “Across America” tour reportedly registered readings at or below ambient levels) and promises lower operating costs compared to piston-engine trainers.
