Flying high on hydrogen

ZeroAvia is a developer of zero-emission powertrain for commercial air travel. 

In September they made their first test flight in Cranfield in the UK using a 6-seater hydrogen-fueled aircraft for taxiing, taking off, circling and landing.  

ZeroAvia’s first commercial product will be the powertrain for 20-seater planes and aims to demonstrate that it can fly a plane over 800km with as many as 20 seats by 2023. They want to scale up to 1,600km with over 100 seats by 2030.  

Aviation is a challenging industry to decarbonise and will increasingly contribute to unwanted carbon emissions.
