About
A power systems company, not a fuel cell company.
H₂ Aerial Systems is a United States company building qualified hydrogen-electric power and readiness systems for persistent uncrewed aircraft.
We do not manufacture fuel cell stacks. The specific-power problem has been solved by the market — shipping modules in this class now reach 440–550 W/kg. What has not been solved is turning one into a qualified, supportable aircraft capability with an evidence package an airworthiness authority will accept.
That is the work we do, and it is the only work we do.
Ownership
Why US ownership matters
Much of the merchant supply base for UAV fuel cell power systems sits outside the United States, and the domestic options available to an airframer are limited. We do not publish a market share claim here; we will share our current supplier assessment, with its date and sources, under NDA.
An aircraft OEM that wants a US-controlled power system, with US-held configuration authority and qualification evidence, from a supplier that is not also a competitor, has had nowhere to go. That is the position we occupy.

Posture
Where we are in our life
We are early, and we would rather say so than have you discover it.
For a launch customer that is an advantage, not a caveat. You shape the interface, the configuration and the qualification basis rather than inheriting decisions made for someone else's aircraft — and you get the engineering attention that a first program receives and a fiftieth does not.
What we will not do is claim heritage we have not earned. Every figure on this site is marked preliminary because it is.
