ZeroAvia Makes Aviation History | 19-seater, hydrogen-electric engine aircraft.  The zero-emission flight took a giant step forward with ZeroAvia. ZeroAvia's 19-seater aircraft, powered entirely by a hydrogen-electric engine, completed a successful test flight. It is currently the world's largest aircraft powered by a hydrogen-electric engine.  The flight took place from the company’s Research & Development facility at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.

The landmark flight forms part of the HyFlyer II project, a major Research & Development (R&D) program backed by the UK Government’s flagship ATI Programme, which targets the development of a 600kW powertrain to support 9-19 seat aircraft worldwide with zero-emission flight. The ATI Programme funds industrial research and investment aid for resea
