BRISTELL B23 Turbo

The BRISTELL B23 Turbo is designed to meet European CS23 and U.S. FAR23 certification standards. BRISTELL incorporated feedback from global customers to develop this upgraded aircraft. While maintaining the recognizable BRISTELL LSA aesthetic, the B23 introduces significant improvements. It features an extended fuselage, a larger tail with an aluminum rudder, and expanded more efficient flaps and stabilizer. The composite main landing gear has been completely redesigned to support higher loads while handling characteristics have been significantly refined. Additionally, the aircraft includes a twin elevator trim tab system, allowing pilots to fine-tune control stick forces with greater precision.

The BRISTELL B23 Turbo comes equipped with essential safety and operational features. A steerable nose wheel enhances ground maneuverability, while a BRS ballistic parachute rescue system ensures an added layer of safety. Designed to meet standard night-VFR requirements, the aircraft can also be upgraded for IFR operations. With a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 750 kg and an empty weight of 465 kg, the B23 offers an impressive 285 kg useful load. Its 120-liter fuel tank capacity makes it an excellent choice for extended trips, supported by a durable and robust airframe built for longevity.

Equipped with cutting-edge avionics, the BRISTELL B23 Turbo ensures an advanced and intuitive flying experience. The cockpit features dual Garmin G3X Touch screens with Synthetic Vision, providing enhanced situational awareness. Additional avionics include a NAV/COM Garmin GNC255 radio, an ADS-B transponder (GTX345 WAAS/GPS), and a Garmin GMC 507 autopilot with a LEVEL button for enhanced control. L3 instruments further contribute to precision and reliability, making the B23 a well-equipped aircraft for both training and cross-country flights.
