ZeroAvia flew a hydrogen-electric Dornier 228 in January 2023, proving fuel cell propulsion can lift a 19-seat regional aircraft - a genuine systems milestone.
ZeroAvia's hydrogen fuel cell powertrain delivers 10–20x more energy per kilogram than batteries, making it the most credible path to zero-emission regional aviation.
ZeroAvia has flown a hydrogen fuel cell-powered Dornier 228, targeting the 9-19 seat regional market as a credible zero-emission alternative to turboprops.
ZeroAvia has flown a 19-seat Dornier 228 on hydrogen fuel cell power, making the strongest case yet that regional aviation can decarbonize beyond what batteries allow.
ZeroAvia's hydrogen fuel cell powertrain program is the most documented attempt to overcome the 300-nautical-mile range ceiling that battery electric aviation cannot break.
