The Importance of Federal Alignment in Hydrogen Aviation

Hydrogen aviation is advancing technically across aircraft development, propulsion systems, and infrastructure planning. However, engineering alone will not determine the pace of deployment. Federal appropriations, agency priorities, regulatory coordination, and bipartisan positioning will shape whether hydrogen aviation becomes a national priority or remains on the margins.

This new course provides a structured foundation in how Washington actually works. It aims to equip participants with the knowledge necessary to navigate the complexities of federal policy.

What Participants Will Learn

Participants in the H2 Aviation Policy & Power course will gain clarity on:

• How federal appropriations and budget cycles operate.

• Which agencies control funding versus regulatory authority.

• The roles of NASA, FAA, DOE, DoD, DOT, and Congress.

• How emerging sectors such as advanced air mobility (AAM) and uncrewed aircraft systems (UAS) successfully built federal momentum.

• The difference between lobbying and advocacy — and what organizations are legally permitted to do.

• When coordinated industry action becomes strategically necessary.

  
  

This program is designed not only for executives who wish to engage directly in policy efforts but also for leaders who must make informed decisions about signing letters, joining coalitions, supporting federal initiatives, or allocating company resources.

The Need for Strategic Literacy

“Hydrogen aviation will not scale on engineering alone,” said Danielle McLean, Founder and CEO of HYSKY Society. “It requires federal alignment, funding architecture, regulatory coordination, and durable bipartisan strategy. This course gives leaders the literacy to navigate that system responsibly and effectively.”

In this rapidly evolving field, understanding the intricacies of federal policy is crucial. The course will empower participants to make informed decisions that can significantly impact the future of hydrogen aviation.

Course Logistics and Registration

All sessions will be delivered online via HYSKY Connect and recorded for on-demand access. Participants will receive a Certificate of Completion from HYSKY Society.

The course runs Tuesdays and Thursdays, 12–2 PM CST, from April 14 through April 30, 2026.
