UH2 was founded in Hawthorne, California in early 2020 by a world-class team with deep experience in the aviation sector. Since then, they have flight tested the world’s largest hydrogen fuel cell powered airplane and have received 260 orders to date for regional aircraft conversions and hydrogen fuel services. Their operations now extend to Toulouse, France with a team focused on liquid hydrogen storage and airframe conversion.

UH2’s team has certified over a dozen aircraft with extensive experience in the development and testing of aircraft, aircraft electrification and in the hydrogen supply chain. Backed by the world’s top strategic and financial investors including Airbus, General Electric, Plug Power, Toyota, American Airlines, Tencent and Playground Global, UH2 has already cemented itself as a leading player in hydrogen aviation with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) accepting their application for a Supplemental Type Certificate (“STC”) and establishing the certification basis in July 2023. With a focus on fuel logistics, UH2 seeks to support the entire aviation industry to decarbonize and addresses the key pain points that hinder the use of hydrogen as an aviation fuel in the short-term. Beyond aviation, UH2’s technology and services have widespread applications in the growing hydrogen economy for heavy-duty ground mobility, back-up power and more, with a development approach driven by aviation standards of safety, quality and performance.
