Summary
The Hydrogen Aviation Development Act (H.R. 3960) aims to modernize the American aviation sector by integrating hydrogen and electric power into the nation’s flight infrastructure. The bill would expand Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) programs to allow airports to use federal grants for the construction of facilities needed to store and distribute hydrogen fuel and support aircraft electrification. Additionally, it directs the FAA to partner with private industry and research universities to develop and test new aircraft engines and technologies that run on hydrogen or batteries. For the public, this legislation seeks to reduce the environmental impact of air travel by accelerating the transition to zero-emission fuels and quieter, more efficient aircraft technology.
