We calculate the total costs of operating a ZeroAvia aircraft to be close to half of what it costs to fly a conventional turbine aircraft, due to lower fuel input costs, higher powertrain efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs. Californian firm ZeroAvia has revealed plans to commercialise its green hydrogen-fuelled electric aviation powertrain in 2022, initially focusing on short-haul 500-mile regional flights. According to available information, the aircraft is the largest to fly without any emissions and support from fossil fuels. The company says it will be able to achieve a range of up to 500 miles with an all-electric engine that uses hydrogen as fuel. The drivetrain will be leased to customers, who will pay by the hour.
