ZeroAvia's hydrogen-electric powertrain completed its first major test flight in January 2023, offering a credible path around the energy density wall that limits battery-electric aircraft.
ZeroAvia flew a hydrogen-electric Dornier 228 in January 2023, demonstrating its ZA-600 powertrain as a credible replacement for turboprop engines on 19-seat regional aircraft.
ZeroAvia has flown a 19-seat Dornier 228 on hydrogen-electric power, marking the most advanced real-world test of zero-emission regional aviation propulsion to date.
ZeroAvia's hydrogen-electric ZA-600 powertrain targets the energy density gap that makes batteries unworkable for regional aviation beyond the pattern.
