Hydrogen fueled aircraft | Certification
The aviation industry is investing in hydrogen-powered aircraft as US companies are seeking to keep
pace with significant investments in Europe and elsewhere to capitalize on the market for sustainable
aircraft.
Â
At the forefront of our efforts is aviation safety. We have developed this roadmap to outline the current
knowledge, key research priorities, and collaborative efforts essential to enabling the safe use of
hydrogen in civil aviation aircraft. This roadmap was developed in collaboration with several FAA offices
and informed through a series of technical interchanges with other aviation regulators, government
agencies, and industry. We plan to continue our collaboration with foreign civil aviation authorities to
share perspectives and knowledge and harmonize our approaches to enable safe and efficient
introduction of hydrogen in aviation.
As we look to the future, hydrogen has the potential to redefine aviation by enabling more sustainable
flight. This roadmap is intended to serve as a step towards that future, where hydrogen-fueled aircraft is
not only a possibility, but a reality. As we move forward, we will continue working both within and outside
of our agency to set the course for a new era of sustainable aviation.
