ZeroAvia and Alaska Airlines team up for largest hydrogen-electric zero-emission aircraft.
ZeroAvia has received a 76-passenger plane from Alaska Airlines to retrofit with zero-emissions technology, and has unveiled its "HyperCore" motor modules, a 1.8MW modular electric motor system that could potentially propel the 76-seat Dash 8-400 electric plane. The company is targeting commercialized electric plane operations beginning with 300 mile range, 9-19 seat aircraft by 2025 and is already eyeing flights with 40-80 seat aircraft with up to 700 miles of range by 2027.
