BRISTELL B8

The BRISTELL B8 is a sleek, all-metal high-wing aircraft designed without struts, featuring a steerable nose wheel for enhanced maneuverability. With a spacious 125 cm-wide cockpit, it offers excellent visibility and comfort for pilots and passengers alike.

The aircraft incorporates composite materials in key areas, including the cockpit doors and luggage compartment door, reducing weight while maintaining durability. This thoughtful design enhances accessibility and convenience, making the B8 a practical choice for pilots seeking a modern high-wing experience.

Powered by a ROTAX 912 ULS (100 HP) as standard, the BRISTELL B8 is set to be certified in the Czech Republic as an ultralight with a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) of 600 kg. Future developments will introduce compatibility with other ROTAX engines, such as the 915iS, expanding its performance capabilities.
