In May 2022, this airframe was delivered to ZeroAvia, a UK and US based startup firm developping zero emissions propulsion engines for smaller commuter aircraft. N409VA became the 2nd testbed for the ZA600 (600kW) hydrogen-electric engine developped by ZeroAvia. The 1st DO228 used for the test and certification process is c/n 8046 registered G-HFZA. Based in the UK, G-HFZA first flew with the ZA600 engine installed on the left hand side on January 18, 2023, while the right engine still is the Jet A-1 fuel powered Honeywell TPE-331 turboprop.
