BRISTELL B23

While the B23 retains similarities to the classic BRISTELL LSA, it features significant improvements. The fuselage is lengthened, and the tail is upgraded with a larger aluminum rudder. The flaps and stabilizer are redesigned for increased efficiency, while the composite main landing gear legs have been completely reworked to support higher loads than previous models. Enhanced handling characteristics also contribute to the overall flight experience. Additionally, the aircraft is equipped with a twin elevator trim tab system that helps optimize control stick forces for the pilot.

Standard equipment includes a steerable nose wheel and a BRS ballistic parachute rescue system. The B23 meets night VFR requirements as standard and can be further upgraded for IFR certification.

With a maximum take-off weight of 750 kg and an empty weight of 450 kg, the B23 offers a useful load of 300 kg. The 120-liter fuel tank provides excellent cruising capability, and the airframe’s durable construction ensures a long operational life, making the BRISTELL B23 an ideal choice for flight training. BRISTELL B23 is also certified for flying at night under VFR conditions. Enjoy a quiet night flight in a certified airplane with a dual glass cockpit and Garmin autopilot.
