Hydrogen Refuelling Infrastructure

Developing the infrastructure for hydrogen-powered flight

Hydrogen-electric aviation requires more than advanced propulsion systems. It depends on the safe, efficient storage, transportation and refuelling of hydrogen across airfields and operational environments.

 

ZeroAvia is developing a portfolio of gaseous and liquid hydrogen storage and refuelling technologies designed to support aircraft operations, improve hydrogen availability and accelerate the adoption of hydrogen-electric flight.

Electric Motors & Propulsion Systems

Lightweight, high-power electric motors and propulsion systems for hydrogen, battery or hybrid electric aircraft applications.

600kW Electric Propulsion System

The 600kW electric engine is designed to be highly efficient and lightweight, with exceptional fault tolerance.


The power agnostic EPS comprises four ZeroAvia 200kW continuous power inverters converting DC power to AC to supply ZeroAvia’s high power electric motor for highly efficient propulsion.

600kW Electric Motor

The 600kW Electric Motor is a radial flux surface permanent magnet based high efficiency machine, specifically designed for direct drive installations mounted to the propellor. Having a stator core divided into 4 sections enhances fault tolerance and allows higher input current from the inverters.
