ZeroAvia secures FAA P-1 sign-off for ZA600 600 kW hydrogen-electric propulsion

ZeroAvia has secured a fully signed FAA P‑1 Special Conditions Issue Paper for its ZA600 600 kW hydrogen‑electric propulsion system, advancing the U.S. certification pathway. The EPS combines four 200 kW bidirectional inverters driving a direct‑drive motor (2,200 rpm) and has been flight‑tested on a Dornier 228.
