As clean energy disrupts industries across the globe, aviation stands at a pivotal crossroads. In the pursuit of sustainable aviation, H55, a Swiss company founded in 2017, has emerged as a trailblazer in electric propulsion systems for aircraft. Originating from the groundbreaking Solar Impulse project, H55 is dedicated to decarbonizing air transport by developing certified electric propulsion systems, including motors, energy storage solutions, battery management systems, and associated interfaces.
Today, H55 channels this expertise into practical solutions for commercial training aircraft, most notably the electric B23.
Charting a New Course for Aviation
Their mission is both ambitious and pragmatic:
- Decarbonize air transport through certified electric propulsion systems, integrating energy storage and battery management.
- Lower noise and emissions for airports and surrounding communities, addressing regulatory and societal pressure.
- Create an affordable operation for flight schools and training operators through increased efficiency and reduced maintenance.
The Challenge: Navigating Complex Certification in Aviation
Aviation is a highly regulated industry where safety and compliance are paramount. For H55, ensuring that every software requirement is traceable, testable, and compliant with regulatory standards is crucial. As the company expanded, managing these complexities became increasingly challenging.
The Solution: PTC’s Codebeamer Technology
To address these challenges, H55 adopted Codebeamer, an application lifecycle management (ALM) platform designed for safety-critical industries like aerospace. Codebeamer provides a comprehensive solution for managing the entire software development lifecycle, from requirements management to testing and compliance.
