This is the first comprehensive course dedicated to federal policy strategy for hydrogen aviation, designed for industry leaders, regulators, and innovators shaping the future of zero-carbon flight.
All students will receive a Certificate of Completion from HYSKY Society.
Overview
Hydrogen aviation will not scale on engineering alone. It requires federal alignment, funding architecture, regulatory coordination, and bipartisan strategy.
The Hydrogen Aviation Policy & Power Short Course provides a structured foundation in how U.S. federal systems prioritize emerging technologies — and how industry leaders can responsibly influence that process.
Developed by HYSKY Society, this course covers how appropriations are shaped, how agencies determine research priorities, how regulatory pathways evolve, and how coordinated industry action can move hydrogen aviation from the margins to a national priority.
Participants will gain clarity on the roles of NASA, FAA, DOE, DOT, DoD, and Congress, and will learn how to align technical progress with policy momentum.
