ZeroAvia will manufacture its hydrogen-electric powertrains at a new factory at Paine Field in Everett, Washington.

Hydrogen-electric propulsion systems developer ZeroAvia is offering to produce components for other companies working to decarbonize aviation. At the opening event for its new manufacturing facility at Paine Field in Everett, Washington, on April 24, the company said it is looking to market its expertise in making electric motors, silicon carbide inverters, low- and high-temperature proton exchange membranes (PEMs) for fuel cells, and compressors.

According to ZeroAvia, certification work for its 600-kilowatt ZA600 powertrain is now progressing as it prepares to convert 20-seat regional aircraft. At the same time, it is advancing the development of the 2-megawatt ZA2000 engine that will power 90-seaters.
