ZeroAvia and Hybrid Air Vehicles to fit Airlander 10 with ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrains for zero-emission flight

Hybrid Air Vehicles and ZeroAvia will explore integrating four 600 kW ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrains into the Airlander 10, aiming to enable zero-emission operations on the hybrid aerostat with a 10‑tonne payload and up to 4,000 nm range. The ZA600 is currently undergoing certification.

Hydrogen aviation: regional entry by 2030, long‑haul slips into the 2040s — net‑zero by 2050 in doubt A new hydrogen roadmap forecasts hydrogen‑powered regional aircraft entering service around 2030, while mature long‑haul hydrogen airliners remain unlikely until the 2040s. The pathway depends heavily on carbon offsets and sustainable aviation fuel, making industry claims of hitting net‑zero by 2050 increasingly doubtful.

CAeS pivots to blended‑wing‑body drone as in‑house hydrogen fuel‑cell work is paused Cranfield Aerospace Solutions unveiled a blended‑wing‑body uncrewed air vehicle but has paused development of its in‑house hydrogen fuel‑cell powertrain, shifting the UK firm from integrated propulsion R&D to airframe‑first development and external propulsion partners. The decision highlights persistent hurdles in maturing hydrogen powertrains for endurance UAS.
