ZeroAvia has flown nine test flights with its hydrogen-electric engine at Cotswold Airport, near Cirencester. The only emission created by the engine is water. Sergey Kiselev, Vice-President of ZeroAvia, said the engine would help achieve "the decarbonisation of aviation". Many other aerospace firms are developing engines that run on hydrogen, but most are not expecting to fly commercially until 2035. So how have they done it, and could it be possible to fly without causing climate change much sooner than people had thought? https://www.flightglobal.com/aerospace/zeroavia-finishes-first-phase-of-za600-testing/154176.article

Less than a month after receiving a permit to fly from the UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), hydrogen-electric plane developer ZeroAvia has successfully completed the first flight of its 19-passenger aircraft. It’s maiden flight marks the record for the largest aircraft in the world to be powered by a hydrogen-electric engine, representing a huge moment for clean aviation. https://electrek.co/2023/01/19/zeroavia-hydrogen-electric-plane-successfully-completes-its-first-flight/

British Airways is investing in ZeroAvia to propel its journey towards a zero emissions future It comes just weeks after British Airways announced a partnership with ZeroAvia through parent company IAG’s Hangar 51 accelerator programme to explore how hydrogen-powered aircraft can play a leading role in the future of sustainable flying Investing in new technologies like zero emissions hydrogen-powered aircraft forms part of the airline’s longer-term plans to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050 ZeroAvia recently completed the world’s first hydrogen-electric fuel cell powered flight of a commercial-grade aircraft as it aims to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable aviation British Airways has invested in ZeroAvia – a leading innovator in decarbonising commercial aviation – in an effort to accelerate the development of 50+ seater aircraft capable of running on zero emissions hydrogen-electric power. British Airways and a group of investors including Horizons Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Ecosystem Integrity Fund, Summa Equity, Shell Ventures, and SYSTEMIQ have invested a total of $24.3m USD, which will enable ZeroAvia to launch a new development programme to further demonstrate the credibility of its technology and accelerate the development of a larger hydrogen-electric engine, capable of flying further and using larger aircraft as soon as 2026. ZeroAvia says it could achieve commercialisation for its hydrogen-electric power as early as 2024, with flights of up to 500-miles in up to 20-seater aircraft. With this new investment, ZeroAvia expects to have 50+ seat commercial aircraft in operation in five years’ time and it accelerates the company’s vision of powering a 100-seat single-aisle aircraft by 2030. This new investment reflects the importance British Airways is placing on sustainability and supports the airline’s commitment to achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050 through a series of short, medium and long-term initiatives. In addition to exploring and investing in the growth of these new longer-term technologies, the airline is also investing in the development of sustainable aviation fuels, flying more fuel-efficient aircraft and exploring the use of carbon capture technology. Sean Doyle, British Airways’ CEO said: “Innovative zero emissions technology is advancing fast and we support the development of hydrogen as an alternative fuel source because we believe it has the potential to enable us to reach true zero emissions on short-haul routes by 2050. “There is a huge amount of energy and excitement building around the possibilities of a zero emissions future for aviation and while there is no single solution to this challenge, we acknowledge the need for urgent action to tackle the impact flying currently has on our planet and are making progress on our journey to net zero.” Val Miftakhov, CEO and founder of ZeroAvia said: "This new funding, in conjunction with our other recent milestones, will significantly accelerate our path to zero-emission solutions for larger regional aircraft at a commercial scale. With the airline industry lining up and ready to shift to zero-emissions, we expect to see wide-scale adoption of this technology. We are extremely grateful to British Airways and our other investors, who are helping speed up our progress and ultimately the aviation industry's adoption of zero-emission flight." In September 2020, ZeroAvia achieved the world's first hydrogen-electric flight of a commercial-grade aircraft. Additionally, the company just completed a ground simulation of the complete power profile for its upcoming first cross-country flight. The ground test demonstrated a full battery shutdown in-flight using the company's unique fuel cell powertrain configuration, allowing for complete removal of the battery system in the next configuration of the powertrain. British Airways’ investment in ZeroAvia follows a recent partnership between the two companies announced at the end of last year. The airline teamed up with ZeroAvia through its parent company International Airlines Group’s (IAG) Hangar 51 accelerator programme in a project to explore how hydrogen-powered aircraft can play a leading role in the future of sustainable flying. The project identified economic, network and consumer appeal advantages as well as clear environmental benefits. https://mediacentre.britishairways.com/news/31032021/british-airways-sets-its-sights-on-zero-emissions-aircraft-as-it-announces-investment-in-tech-innovator-zeroavia-to-speed-up-development-of-hydrogen-powered-aircraft

Dear Wil Sillen Thank you for getting your climate love to level 2! We have reached out to ZeroAvia and requested a response. I will keep you updated on any progress! /Adam We Don't Have Time

While the best thing for the climate would be to stay on the ground, the demand for traveling by plane is unlikely to stop. Making it very important to come up with better alternatives to hit the sky. ZeroAvia recently completed the first hydrogen-fuel-cell-powered flight of a commercial-grade 6 seat aircraft. Next test will be a 250-mile flight. – While some experimental aircraft have flown using hydrogen fuel cells as a power source, the size of this commercially available aircraft shows that paying passengers could be boarding a truly zero-emission flight very soon, said Val Miftakhov, CEO, ZeroAvia. If using hydrogen from green sources this 6-seat aircraft could be very good alternative to replace less sustainable flights on shorter routes very soon.

This is such a huge issue still I don’t think many realizes.

According to Airbus large passenger planes powered by hydrogen will be technically possible to make within 5 years and could be commercially viable by 2030. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2020/10/22/hydrogen-powered-planes-will-commercially-viable-2030s-says/?fbclid=IwAR0IVVv30fbFbstbCcZhuLfCMcszJfWpAizWSVmdSWoWObDD98jvKSfEZLo

This is great news and I support HFC technology, but I would prefer our Vehicles were fuelled by Carbon Negative Algea Bio Fuel, that permanently sequesters 10 pounds of CO2 for every gallon. That way we would be in effect using our vehicles as Carbon Capturing machines!. Also using Algea fuel would mean we could use thhe vehicles that already exist. Building 100’s of millions of new vehicles could finish us off, and can’t be done in the 10 years we have left. Whereas Photo Bio Reactors( PBR) are easy, quick and cheap to build, and if we used the £10.5 Billion p/a of fossil fuel subsidies we could fund a country wide roll out of PBR within 5-10 years! https://youtu.be/yP5ADjTB-m8
