TUESDAY, MARCH 29-THURSDAY, MARCH 31 IN LONG BEACH CA. Following up on the successful programs on hydrogen for aviation produced by the VFS Hydrogen electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) Council in 2020-2021, VFS is hosting the next logical follow-on, a workshop to bring leading experts to discuss the promise, progress and barriers of implementing hydrogen fuel cells for eVTOL and other types of propeller aircraft. This is part of a new effort to help accelerate development and scale on both the hydrogen infrastructure as well as the fuel cell aircraft called H2-Aero.

Topics include aviation-relevant hydrogen storage (onboard and ground), production, transport, fuel cells in aerospace, synergies with ground infrastructure, demonstration project and use cases and cross-industry applications, as well as aircraft system considerations.

The event will feature two days (March 29–30) of informative presentations and insightful discussions (the Symposium), as well as the Workshop for H2-Aero. As a plus, there will be a tour of Toyota's hydrogen and fuel cell heavy duty vehicle facilities at the Port of Long Beach, California, on Thursday, March 31.
