ZeroAvia to work with HAV on hydrogen-powered Airlander 10

Several airline customers are already exploring how to embed the ZA600 platform into more traditional fixed-wing aircraft (mainly small and medium-sized turboprops) to lower operating costs and achieve more environmentally friendly flights.

The company has been conducting flight testing of a prototype on board a 19-seat Dornier 228-200 testbed aircraft from its base at Kemble (Cotswold) Airport in the UK.

“With ample space for hydrogen storage in the hull, the Airlander represents an excellent option for adopting the first generation of certified hydrogen technologies that are already close to market entry,” said an HAV statement.
