ZeroAvia’s Strategic Path to Hydrogen-Electric Aviation

US-based ZeroAvia has achieved a major milestone with its 600kW hydrogen-electric propulsion system receiving a G-1 Issue Paper from the FAA, paving the way for full certification and commercialization. The company has also joined the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s Hydrogen Challenge programme to explore regulatory requirements for hydrogen fuel adoption and is focusing on retrofitting the Dornier 228 aircraft as a testbed for hydrogen-electric systems.
