It encompasses design, testing, qualification, manufacturing, and maintenance of fuel cell stacks, propulsion and auxiliary systems for hydrogen powertrains in aviation applications.

Richard Berkling, CEO of PowerCell Group, shared, “This achievement truly showcases our team’s dedication, expertise, and relentless pursuit of excellence. Developing hydrogen-electric solutions for aviation demands the highest standards of quality and safety, and this certification is a clear testament to our ability to meet and even exceed those expectations.
