ZeroAvia is a San Francisco-based aviation and green-tech startup founded in 2017 by Val Miftakhov, a licensed pilot and serial entrepreneur. The company has operations in both the United States and the United Kingdom.
Founder and CEO Miftakhov's scientific background and passion for aviation paved the way for his journey into the transportation industry. With a master’s in physics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology and winning the Russian Nationwide Physics competition twice before completing a PhD in physics at Princeton, Miftakhov performed nuclear research at Stanford's Linear Accelerator program. Additionally, he worked in R&D roles at Google and high-tech management consulting with McKinsey & Co. before venturing into entrepreneurship.
ZeroAvia completed the world's first hydrogen-electric powered flight and has become an industry leader for zero-emission air travel. The hydrogen-electric powertrain technology developed by ZeroAvia competes with traditional aircraft engines but without many of their limitations. The ZeroAvia hydrogen fuel cell is expected to be market-ready by early 2023, and the company's successful test flights resulted in a partnership with British Airways. The company has also raised funds from Horizons Ventures, Amazon Climate Pledge Fund, Breakthrough Ventures, and other consortia, grant programs, and venture capital firms to complete the HyFlyer II project following the success of HyFlyer I.
ZeroAvia was founded to provide a more sustainable and higher-density energy source to airlines all while reducing their operating costs. With strategic partnerships and ongoing investment in R&D, the company expects to be able to bring zero-emissions flights capable of seating 100 passengers and traveling over 1,000 miles to commercial airlines by 2030.
