Aerovolt launches electric aviation cooperation with H55
Next to the planned expansion of charging networks, as well as the standardization of charging software, using Aerovolt’s proprietary aviation management system, Squadron, the partners aim to introduce the first all-electric end-to-end training programmes for private pilot licences, including charging infrastructure, at regional and local airports.
Martin Larose, CEO of H55 SA said: “Electric aviation is no longer a concept; it’s a reality. By joining forces with Aerovolt, we’re tackling two of the biggest challenges—scalable charging infrastructure and accessible pilot training. Together, we’re laying the foundation for a greener and more sustainable aviation industry, not only in Europe but globally.”
“Aerovolt is committed to making electric aviation a viable, everyday reality. By deploying H55-powered B23 Energic aircraft and integrating them into our network, we’re showcasing the future of pilot training and regional aviation. This partnership is about more than infrastructure—it’s about transforming the way the world thinks about sustainable aviation, from training pilots to empowering airports and aviation authorities,” added Philip Kingsley-Dobson, Managing Director of Aerovolt UK Ltd.
As early as 2019, H55 managed to put an electric aeroplane in the air for a 90-minute flight. By 2023, a supply deal for electric drives for the aircraft was then signed with Equipmake. We first saw H55 take the stage in 2018 when the company launched with a financing round supported by the Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm NanoDimension.
Aerovolt does not have quite such a long history, having been founded in 2023, but saw the establishment of a charging network for electric VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) start to take shape in 2024, with a major expansion to take place this year.
