The Electric Aviation Group (EAG) aims to develop the world's first 90-seater 'True Zero' Hydrogen Hybrid Electric Regional Aircraft (H2ERA).

1. Megawatt Scale Electric Propulsion Systems

2. Megawatt Scale Hydrogen Fuel Cell Systems

EAG has established three subsidiaries to develop these essential technology building blocks.
