The two companies have signed an agreement to integrate hydro-electric propulsion into the Airlander 10 and assess the technology’s wider use across Hybrid Air Vehicles’ future designs.
The company's two hour and 38 minute test simulated a 250 nautical mile Cessna Caravan 208B flight and confirmed stable power output across all phases.
The high temperature fuel cells that ZeroAvia will manufacture in the planned Glasgow facility are said to be key to unlocking fuel cell propulsion for larger aircraft.
The extended initiative will support hydrogen propulsion testing, airport infrastructure upgrades and scientific research over the next three years.
The ZeroAvia compressor offers highly stable performance across a large range of power and operating environment requirements, and will support up to 900kW fuel cell systems.
ZeroAvia's testing confirms the potential for HTPEM systems to accelerate the development of large hydrogen-electric powertrains for large aircraft.
The permit will pave the way for a commercially certifiable configuration for ZA600 to be submitted by the end of 2023, ahead of delivering powertrains for the first commercial operation of 9-19 seat aircraft by 2025.
MHIRJ will support ZeroAvia by providing engineering services to aid the certification of the engines to Part 33 and will provide advisory services evaluating the feasibility of a green retrofit programme.
