Swiss electric aircraft developer H55 has partnered with British charging infrastructure firm AeroVolt to address gaps in electric aviation, including expanding charging networks and launching the first all-electric pilot training programs, the companies announced on Thursday.

The collaboration will focus on standardizing charging software using AeroVolt’s proprietary system, Squadron, and deploying charging infrastructure at regional airports. The partners also aim to introduce end-to-end electric training programs for private pilot licenses, integrating H55’s B23 Energic aircraft into AeroVolt’s network.

“Electric aviation is no longer a concept; it’s a reality,” said Martin Larose, CEO of H55. “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, founded in 2023, began building a charging network for electric vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft in 2024 and plans a major expansion this year. Philip Kingsley-Dobson, Managing Director of AeroVolt UK Ltd., said the partnership aims to “transform the way the world thinks about sustainable aviation,” adding: “This is about more than infrastructure—it’s about empowering airports, pilots, and authorities.”

H55, which launched in 2018 with backing from Silicon Valley’s NanoDimension, has been a pioneer in electric flight. In 2019, it conducted a 90-minute flight with an electric plane and signed a 2023 supply deal with Equipmake for electric propulsion systems.
