Hydrogen-powered aircraft company ZeroAvia coming to Everett
EVERETT — After a nationwide search, an aerospace company that is developing a hydrogen-powered aircraft motor has chosen Paine Field to set up shop.
ZeroAvia, which currently has offices in London and in Hollister, California, plans to invest $5.5 million to ready an Everett site for a team of 20 design and software engineers.
To kickstart the effort, the Washington State Department of Commerce awarded the company a $350,000 grant to convert a warehouse at the Snohomish County-owned airport into a research-and-development facility.
“Paine Field was an obvious choice for us,” said Val Miftakhov, a physicist who founded ZeroAvia in 2017. “Working from this location, ZeroAvia is well positioned among one of the most talented aerospace and clean-energy communities worldwide.”
