PowerCell received a EUR 500K follow-on order for MS-100 fuel cell systems from ZeroAvia. In September last year, ZeroAvia conducted the world’s first hydrogen electric flight of a commercial airplane. The plane, a single-engine six-seater Piper Malibu, carried out an eight-minute flight and reached an altitude of 1,000 feet and a speed of 100 knots.
The plane had a hydrogen-electric powertrain where an PowerCell MS-100 fuel cell system was an integral part.
ZeroAvia now continues the development of zero emissions aircraft drivetrains by placing a follow-on order for further MS-100 fuel cell systems.
Andreas Bodén, Director Sales & Marketing PowerCell Sweden AB said:
ZeroAvia has proven that hydrogen-electric and zero emissions flying is a possibility and we have demonstrated that the technology exists here and now and that it is working.
“The aviation industry is currently going through a phase where different technologies are tested to validate the technology’s possibilities as the fuel cell and hydrogen technologies are expected to play a crucial role for the transformation of the aviation industry”
