ZeroAvia has enlisted the expertise of former FAA administrator Billy Nolen to support the company in expediting the certification process of its innovative aircraft propulsion systems. With a focus on both its 600kW electric propulsion system and the upcoming full hydrogen-electric powertrains, ZeroAvia aims to secure necessary approvals for these cutting-edge technologies. Nolen's background in aviation safety and regulatory affairs, acquired during his extensive career with American Airlines and later at the FAA, positions him well to contribute to ZeroAvia's certification efforts. The company's recent achievement of an FAA G-1 issue paper for its electric propulsion system marks a significant step forward, along with the ongoing work towards certifying the ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrain with the UK CAA. ZeroAvia's CEO, Val Miftakhov, recognizes the strategic advantage Nolen's expertise brings in navigating the regulatory landscape and ensuring safety standards are met. Nolen, enthusiastic about the industry's shift towards sustainable propulsion systems, expresses his excitement to support ZeroAvia in obtaining crucial type certificates for their innovative technologies. Both parties highlight the collaborative efforts required to realize the vision of future aviation propelled by electric and hydrogen technologies, underscoring the industrial opportunities and global impact of advancing these innovations.
