Falcon Field Airport is welcoming Swiss-based H55. The Bristell B23 Energic aircraft, a fully electric, two-seat aircraft, is visiting Mesa to demonstrate advances in sustainable aviation.

Hosted by Avflight, one of Falcon Field Airports fixed-base operators (FBOs), this milestone event showcases the companys electric propulsion technology. H55 is a pioneer in electric aviation and a spin-off of the Solar Impulse project, the groundbreaking initiative that completed the first solar-powered flight around the world.

"Falcon Field Airport welcomes innovations that advance aviation while reinforcing our commitment to sustainability," said Airport Director Corinne Nystrom. "We proudly support efforts that make flight quieter, cleaner and more community-focused. These initiatives align with the City of Mesa's Climate Action Plan and help ensure that aviation remains a responsible neighbor and a forward-thinking industry."

The H55 powered Bristell B23 Energic arrived at Falcon Field Airport on Sunday, May 18, and will be on display May 20, 21 and May 24.
