2023 Bristell B23

BRISTELL, the Czech light aircraft manufacturer which has produced more than 690 LSA aircraft worldwide, has launched the BRISTELL B23, its next generation low-wing airplane. The B23 has been designed to satisfy the European CS23 / U.S. FAR23 certification basis. BRISTELL says they “had listened to feedback from many customers from around the world” before designing the new aircraft.

While the airplane looks very similar to the classic BRISTELL LSA, there is far more to the new design. The fuselage is longer & the tail with an aluminium rudder is larger; the flaps & stabiliser are bigger & more efficient; the composite main landing gear legs have been redesigned completely to enable them to carry much heavier loads than previous BRISTELL models; & the aircraft’s handling characteristics are much improved too. In addition, the twin elevator trim tab function helps the pilot to optimise the forces on the control stick.

The basic equipment includes a steerable nose wheel & a BRS ballistic parachute rescue system. The standard-equipped aircraft also meets the night-VFR requirements & can be upgraded to meet IFR requirements.

The airplane looks very elegant & anyone who flies a BRISTELL falls in love with it within a few minutes. Once you try a BRISTELL, you don’t want to fly with anything else. Why?:
