The Vertical Flight Society (VFS) is staging a public conference to address the potential use of hydrogen for aviation fuel. The first H2-Aero Symposium & Workshop will be held in Long Beach, California, from March 29-31, and will include officials from California, where the state government is strongly advocating for the adoption of hydrogen for multiple applications.

There will be presentations from executives with companies developing new hydrogen-powered aircraft and the fuel cell-based powertrains these will use. Companies present at the symposium will include Airbus, Bartini, Piasecki Aircraft, Zero Avia, Shell, HyPoint, Plug Power, Universal Hydrogen, and Zev Station. Attendees will be able to tour the Shell heavy-duty hydrogen refueling station at the Power of Long Beach.
