ZeroAvia has been granted $4.2 million in federal funding by the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Fueling Aviation's Sustainable Transition discretionary grant program. This funding will propel ZeroAvia's efforts to advance its electric propulsion system designed for 2-5 megawatt powertrain applications. The research and development activities will be centered in ZeroAvia's Everett, WA, facility to further refine its electric motor and inverter, with the ultimate goal of achieving certification and commercial deployment. The project will leverage ZeroAvia's HyperCore stackable motor, previously tested at the Everett facility, along with its silicon-carbide inverters. Additionally, the endeavor will complement the company's ongoing projects in the UK focused on High Temperature PEM fuel cells to enable hydrogen-electric engines for aircraft with 40-80 seats. Val Miftakhov, the Founder and CEO of ZeroAvia, expressed appreciation for the FAA's investment in hydrogen and electric propulsion technologies, emphasizing the significance of these initiatives in fostering a cleaner future for aviation. He highlighted the alignment of ZeroAvia's objectives with the US government's focus on sustainability and clean energy in aviation. ZeroAvia, known for its work in developing hydrogen-electric engines, aims to revolutionize the aviation industry by promoting electric propulsion systems. The company has already achieved experimental certificates to test its engines in different aircraft and has secured partnerships with major aircraft manufacturers. With nearly 2,000 pre-orders for its engines and components, ZeroAvia envisions a substantial impact on the aviation sector, with potential revenues exceeding $10 billion.
