H55's inaugural model has room for two in the cockpit and can stay in flight for approximately 90 minutes. Solar Impulse was used in the design, which was made by a Czech Republic company called BRM Aero. Solar impulse technology was initially designed to showcase electric technology, the result is H55's Energic which is a training plane.

H55's Energic electric planes are powered with two battery packs which add approximately 50 kilowatt-hours. The plane can be fully charged in roughly an hour. The model can climb up to 900 feet per minute and has a cruising speed of 125 MPH, which is almost the same as the fossil fuel version of the plane.
