The UK’s twin-engine 19-seat Dornier 228 aircraft has arrived at our facility. Our team is ready to start testing our #hydrogen-electric powertrain technology on this commercial-size aircraft to ultimately, #decarbonize and revolutionize regional #aviation.

A 19-seat aircraft will need about 100kg of hydrogen for a 500-mile flight. This is compared to about 150 gallons of jet fuel for the same flight. The total cost of hydrogen is projected to be about half of the cost of jet fuel for the same flight. #hydrogen #fuel #allelectric

On April 29th, our R&D aircraft made a safe, off-airport landing in a field just outside the Bedfordshire airport. Aircraft has sustained some damage, but everybody involved is safe, and without injury. As we analyze the flight data, we will provide updates as we learn more.

Thank you to Climate Pledge Fund for investing in our recently-closed $21.4 million Series A funding round! Without you and our other top-tier investors, decarbonizing an important but challenging sector like aviation would take much longer. #climatepledge

Ready to roll! We have completed the commissioning of our hydrogen-electric propulsion system on Dornier 228. H2 detection, fuel cell, cooling, electrical and software control systems performed as expected. Ground testing to begin imminently! #hydrogen #zeroemission #aviation

Time to release the brakes! #ZeroAvia ended September on a high, with our team witnessing the #Dornier228 #aircraft accelerating down the runway with a high power test that took place at Cotswold Airport, last week. One last giant step before we're ready to fly! See it here:

Flying Hy! Another massive step forwards for the #Do228 testing program: leveled flight using only the hydrogen-electric engine! Plenty more flying to come as we test the ZA600 system more as part of our path to certification by 2025. Stay tuned! #hydrogen #aviation
