Alaska Airlines-ZeroAvia Q400 Zero-Emission Aircraft Retrofit

under construction1.8 MW 1 mention

Retrofit of a retired Bombardier Q400 regional turboprop aircraft with ZeroAvia's hydrogen-electric propulsion system (ZA2000). The 76-seat aircraft will be equipped with High Temperature PEM fuel cells, liquid hydrogen storage, and a multi-megawatt modular electric motor system to demonstrate commercial viability of zero-emission regional aviation.

Hydrogen-electric propulsion

An aircraft propulsion system that uses hydrogen fuel cells to generate electricity for electric motors.

Liquid Hydrogen Storage

Cryogenically stored hydrogen maintained at -253°C in a vacuum-insulated tank, offering 2.8 times more energy density than gaseous hydrogen for aviation applications.

High-Temperature PEM Fuel Cells

These fuel cell systems operate between 160–200°C using phosphoric acid-doped membranes, offering smaller size and higher power density suitable for commercial aircraft.
