Safran : ZeroAvia and Safran forge partnership on hydrogen-electric technologies

About this update from Safran Sa

This partnership between Safran and ZeroAvia will act as a catalyst in accelerating the maturation of technologies for fuel cell electric propulsion systems. The partners will investigate in particular collaboration on advanced High-Temperature fuel cells paving the way for future demanding aviation applications. Christine Ourmières-Widener, Executive Chair of ZeroAvia, said: "Hydrogen-electric propulsion has the potential to transform aerospace and defense applications, and collaboration is essential to accelerating that transition. By working hand-in-hand with Safran, we are helping to advance technologies that are critical to building a better, cleaner future for flight." Éric Dalbiès, Chief Technology Officer of Safran, added: "Safran has achieved world-leading progress in aerospace electrification, including the world-first certification of our ENGINeUS electric propulsion system. Furthermore, we are pursuing a solid technology roadmap toward the maturation of High-Temperature hydrogen fuel cells for aviation. Collaborating with ZeroAvia is an exciting opportunity to build on these advances, foster synergies, and further drive innovation in zero-emission technologies." This collaboration builds on the industry's growing traction toward hydrogen-powered aviation. It reflects both companies' shared commitment to developing the technologies required to support the aviation sector's long-term decarbonization goals.
