ZeroAvia reached another milestone just before the end of 2021 with the first spin of the propeller on our Dornier 228 using electric power. The test was designed as a functional check of the fully integrated and flight-ready Electric Propulsion System aboard the testbed aircraft at Cotswold Airport in the UK. Several tests were performed, kicking off the 4-week ground test program before clearing the aircraft for flight.
ZeroAvia's work on the powertrain for 10-20 seat aircraft is part of the HyFlyer II project, in partnership with Aeristech and EMEC, and supported by the Aerospace Technology Institute, Innovate UK and BEIS.
