Brm Aero Bristell B23 Energic
The Bristell B23 Energic is an electric trainer developed in the Czech Republic to explore practical battery-powered flight. It is based on the conventional Bristell B23 airframe but replaces the piston engine with an electric motor and battery system. The aircraft is aimed at short training sorties, where quiet operation and low energy costs can be especially useful. Its limited range and early-stage electric technology make it a rare glimpse of how light-aircraft training may evolve.
