American Airlines<\/strong> Tuesday announced that it has entered into a conditional purchase agreement with clean aviation innovator ZeroAvia<\/strong> for 100 hydrogen-electric engines intended to power regional jet aircraft with zero inflight emissions save for water vapor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, American has increased its investment in ZeroAvia by participating in the company’s Series C financing round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZeroAvia is developing hydrogen-electric (fuel cell-powered) engines for commercial aircraft, which offer the potential for close to zero inflight emissions. The company is flight testing a prototype for a 20-seat plane and designing an engine for larger aircraft such as the Bombardier CRJ700, which American operates on certain regional routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAdvancing the transition of commercial aviation to a low-carbon future requires investments in promising technologies, including alternate forms of propulsion,\u201d said American\u2019s CEO Robert Isom. \u201cThis announcement will help accelerate the development of technologies needed to power our industry and uphold our commitment to make American a sustainable airline so we can continue to deliver for customers for decades to come.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn signing this purchase agreement and furthering its investment, American is supporting our mission of innovation for clean aircraft propulsion and it is a good signal that ZeroAvia is delivering on our technology roadmap,\u201d said ZeroAvia Founder and CEO Val Miftakhov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ZeroAvia\u2019s hydrogen-electric engines use hydrogen in fuel cells to generate electricity, which is then used to power electric motors to turn the aircraft\u2019s propellers. The only inflight emission is low-temperature water vapor, and the lower intensity electrical systems have the potential to offer significant cost savings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
