Electric plane tech centre to be built near Glasgow Airport

by Heather

A new manufacturing centre for zero-emission aircraft technology is to built near Glasgow Airport.

ZeroAvia said a facility to develop and manufacture hydrogen fuel cells for small electric planes could be in operation by 2028, creating around 350 jobs.

The US-based start-up has previously conducted test flights in England with a 19-seater aircraft which was powered by a hydrogen/electric system.

The firm has received millions of pounds of backing from the UK and Scottish governments, and Scotland's National Investment Bank.
