Val is shifting his focus toward a stealthy new frontier at the intersection of energy and artificial intelligence

Ben Chiswick and Dr. Satyam Joshi detailed the engineering challenges, optimization strategies, and systems-level thinking required to transform automotive hydrogen fuel cells into practical propulsion systems for eVTOLs and future regional aircraft.

Since the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, I've been closely following ZeroAvia and its founder, Val Miftakhov. Hydrogen aviation was, and still is, viewed by many as just theory. While much of the aerospace industry was talking about sustainability in conferences, ZeroAvia was flying hydrogen-electric aircraft. Behind that effort was Valery Miftakhov, a physicist, pilot, entrepreneur, runner, biker, swimmer, family man and relentless builder who had already helped advanc

The hearing will be live streamed on June 4, 2026, to examine the state of air travel in rural America and the challenges facing small community airports.

EAS, first held in 2007, is the world’s longest running conference on electric aviation. Since 2017, the symposium has been held in conjunction with AirVenture Oshkosh, which attracted more than 700,000 attendees and 10,000 aircraft last year. EAS is an annual showcase for new electric aviation technology and progress.

ZeroAvia, one of the world's leading hydrogen-electric aviation companies, has announced a significant leadership transition as founder and Chief Executive Officer Val Miftakhov steps down from his role effective May 26, 2026

“This is what industry leadership looks like…in the UK,” Solomon wrote.

Global aerospace leaders, startups, clean energy innovators, and investors invited to support the future of zero-carbon flight

The 4th Annual Global Virtual HYSKY Aviation Summit Returns November 4, 2026 on Zoom. Early Bird Tickets Now Available at 25% Off Through June 30 with Code EARLYBIRDSFLYHY. Sponsorship Tiers Starting at $250, All 100% Tax-Deductible.

And at the center of that transformation is the 20th Annual Electric Aircraft Symposium (EAS 2026), returning July 18–19, 2026, the weekend immediately before AirVenture Oshkosh begins.

Imagine a world where aircraft glide silently through the sky, powered by clean, abundant hydrogen. This isn’t just a dream anymore - it’s rapidly becoming reality. But how do we, as developers, regulators, and leaders in aviation and propulsion, tap into the wealth of knowledge and resources needed to make hydrogen aviation safe, efficient, and scalable? The answer lies in accessing online hydrogen fueling resources - a treasure trove of information, tools, and networks desi

As aviation decarbonization moves from buzzword to business imperative, a pragmatic blueprint is emerging: centralized hydrogen hubs feeding airports via short pipelines. In a recent industry discussion, Dr. Phillip Ansell outlined the operational realities that make distributed truck delivery and long-haul liquid shipping increasingly impractical for high-volume airport needs — and why strategically sited hydrogen hubs offer a far better path forward. Why centralized hydroge
