The Scottish government has awarded £9 million ($12 million) in funding to support ZeroAvia’s plans to manufacture its hydrogen-electric propulsion systems at a new facility near Glasgow Airport. On May 21, the company announced it will build a Hydrogen Center of Excellence in Scotland that will be the main location for producing advanced high temperature proton membrane fuel cell stacks.

The new facility operate in tandem with the Propulsion Center of Excellence in Washington state, where ZeroAvia produces electric motors and power electronics. The company is also set to expand its research and development and aircraft test center at Cotswold Airport in the southwest of England.
