A new manufacturing centre for zero-emission aircraft technology is to built near Glasgow Airport.
ZeroAvia said a facility to develop and manufacture hydrogen fuel cells for small electric planes could be in operation by 2028, creating around 350 jobs.
The US-based start-up has previously conducted test flights in England with a 19-seater aircraft which was powered by a hydrogen/electric system.
The firm has received millions of pounds of backing from the UK and Scottish governments, and Scotland’s National Investment Bank.
The new Hydrogen Centre of Excellence and manufacturing facility with be located within the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District near the airport in Renfrewshire.
It will focus on developing the hydrogen fuel cells, while the electric motors will be built in the US and the planes tested at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire.
First Minister John Swinney and Scottish Secretary Ian Murray both attended an event at Glasgow Airport to launch the firm’s plans.
Swinney said: “ZeroAvia’s decision to establish a base in Scotland – creating 350 highly-skilled jobs in the process – is the perfect illustration of Scotland’s growing reputation in the global transition to net zero.”
Murray said millions of pounds of UK government investment would create and support hundreds of Scottish jobs.
“It is a perfect example of the UK and Scottish governments working together to drive innovation and manufacturing in Scotland,” he said.
The firm has received £32m of investment from the UK’s National Wealth Fund and £18.5m of research funding since 2019.
Scottish Enterprise has also provided £9m of grant funding while the Scottish National Investment Bank has invested £20m.
