H55 has successfully completed the first part of its Series C financing round securing CHF 45 million in financing. The Valais based startup has raised substantial financing from a group of distinguished strategic and financial investors, further consolidating its leading position as a major provider of certified electric propulsion aviation technologies. The financing will support H55 path to Type Certification (TC) by 2024 and accelerate growth.

As such, we are immensely grateful to our investors for sharing this vision and recognizing the transformative impact of electric aviation. As the demand for electric propulsion solutions is growing, these funds will be instrumental in expanding our team as well as our production capacity to respond to specific ongoing customer projects”.

“We are deeply grateful to our investors for their belief in our mission in changing the historical economic and technological paradigms associated with air transportation”, says Martin Larose, H55’s Chief Executive Officer. “H55's electric propulsion systems have gained widespread acclaim for their exceptional performance and positive environmental impact. This new financing round will help to expand our footprint in both the North American and European markets and continue to reinforce our position as a leading enabler in clean aviation.
