Background ✨
ZeroAvia secured UK Civil Aviation Authority design organisation approval for its hydrogen-electric engine, supporting its bid to type-certify the 600kW ZA600 fuel-cell powertrain for Part 23 aircraft.1 It also partnered with PowerCell Group on intermediate and high temperature fuel cells, positioning the technology for more energy-intensive and larger-aircraft applications.2 Safran previously completed the HyPERION hydrogen propulsion study with Airbus and ArianeGroup, including testing a hydrogen conditioning system for gas turbines.3
