On a retrofit project, hydrogen-electric plane company ZeroAvia and Alaska Airlines partner to bring zero-emissions technology to a 76-passenger airplane. By 2025, the companies hope to have 300-mile range, 9-19 seat electric jet operations working commercially. By 2027, they already have their sights set on 700-mile ranged flights aboarding 40-80 passengers.<\/p>\n
The Bombardier Q400 regional turboprop, also known as the Dash 8-400, that Alaska Airlines promised ZeroAvia a year and a half ago in the ZeroAvia And Alaska Airlines partnership was finally handed to them during a ceremony in Washington state that also featured Governor Jay Inslee and US Representative Suzan DelBenem. ZeroAvia also took the opportunity to debut their \u201cHyperCore\u201d motor modules.<\/p>\n
They displayed a propeller spin with no emissions attached to its own 15-ton HyperTruck rig. A 1.8MW modular electric motor system made up of two 900kW HyperCore motor modules was used in the prototype. These motors ran at 20,000 rpm, which is the same speed as a conventional turbine engine, and they produced an outstanding 15kW\/kg of motor power density.<\/p>\n
