What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Wait for stronger evidence

Why
Credible record HT-PEM cell-level power density (2.5 kW/kg, vendor-verified) and a certification-intent ZA600 ground test (2h38m, 250-nmi profile) are strong, but the ZA2000 itself has not flown and the larger fuel cell + motor + LH2 ecosystem remain unproven
Next
Watch for ZA600 type certification (UK CAA / FAA G-1 & P-1 papers), 2026 ZA2000 ground/taxi tests, and any verified system-level kW/kg figure; reassess after first ZA2000 flight
