FAA Finalizes Certification Rules for ZeroAvia’s 600 kW Hydrogen-Electric ZA601 Engine

Some narrative/interpretive statements and dates (e.g., timing of draft/special conditions and “first-ever” language) are somewhat generalized but broadly consistent with public sources. No clearly false technical claims were found, though several impact and timeline statements are forward‑looking projections rather than verifiable facts.
