Val Miftakhov is the CEO and Founder at ZeroAvia, a UK and California company developing the World's first practical zero emission aviation powertrain. Started by the serial entrepreneurs in EV space, the company initially focuses on regional aircraft up to 80 seats with 500-mile range. ZeroAvia's unique approach results in much lower fuel and engine maintenance costs, with no harmful emissions.
We are pleased to be working with HAL to deliver zero-emission aircraft to market in the shortest time frame. HAL has a long experience with the Dornier 228 aircraft and since this is also our flight test aircraft, this collaboration helps us achieve our goal of certifying our engine whilst providing an STC solution to operators worldwide.
HAL and ZeroAvia engineers will integrate ZeroAvia’s ZA600 hydrogen-electric powertrain into the Dornier 228 airframe.
