Built around the view
The B8 is the odd one out in the Bristell fleet — and that’s exactly the point. Where every other model is a low wing, the B8 puts the wing on top of the fuselage, without wing struts slicing through the picture. The result is a breathtaking panoramic view from a fully enclosed all-metal cabin with composite doors. Not an aircraft for chasing records; very much the aircraft that ruins airline middle seats for everyone who flies with you.
