De Havilland Aircraft of Canada and zero-emission aviation powertrain developer ZeroAvia have entered into a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop a line-fit and retrofit program for De Havilland Canada's Dash 8-400 turboprop using hydrogen-electric propulsion in both new and in-service aircraft, the companies said Tuesday. The announcement comes a day after United Airlines said it would participate in a $35 million round of funding for ZeroAvia and reserve purchase rights for 100 of its powertrains to retrofit on regional jets such as the Bombardier CRJ550.
