SQEP Ltd was privileged to get a rare glimpse behind the curtains at ZeroAvia’s base in Cotswold Airport, Kemble near Cirencester. As Aviation engineers, Helen Summers and Jim Mateer from SQEP were in their element, whilst James Holland, ZeroAvia Global Head of Safety, took them on a tour of the company’s hydrogen fuel cell development and the cutting-edge technology being employed to bring sustainable hydrogen-electric propulsion systems to market.

“ZeroAvia’s work is at the leading edge of a new, clean, era of aviation. This fascinating visit has left me with a sense of excitement about a future reality driven by great innovation.”
