ZeroAvia's new Everett center 'a huge step in decarbonizing' aviation
EVERETT — Two years ago, ZeroAvia moved into a small research and development facility at Paine Field.
On Wednesday, the company developing hydrogen-electric powered airplanes opened a new 136,000-square-foot Propulsion Center of Excellence, for a “sevenfold increase” in space, said ZeroAvia’s CEO and founder, Val Miftakhov.
The center, the company’s first manufacturing site, will produce hydrogen-electric propulsion systems for commercial distribution. The original research facility, with about 50 employees, will also move in.
As the company scales up production, the manufacturing center could employ hundreds, he said.
