Beyond Aero, a startup based in Paris, is making significant strides in the field of hydrogen aviation with its revised project, the BYA-1. The company aims to develop a hydrogen-electric business jet capable of carrying six passengers over an impressive range of 800 nautical miles. The BYA-1 has undergone substantial modifications since its debut at the 2023 Paris Air Show, including a complete reworking of its architecture for enhanced safety. The propulsion system of the BYA-1 now features two electric motors powered by independent circuits, eliminating the reliance on batteries and high-temperature turbines. The fuel cell capacity has been increased to 2.4 MW, and operational costs are expected to decrease significantly due to reduced moving parts and a modular engine replacement system. Safety remains a top priority for Beyond Aero, with the repositioning of hydrogen tanks above the wing structure and the implementation of various technical refinements to enhance safety and efficiency. These changes have been endorsed by experts from leading aerospace companies and are being reviewed by EASA to ensure compliance with safety standards. Beyond Aero has secured substantial funding and investor interest, with over $44 million raised and letters of intent worth $914 million for 108 aircraft. The company's emphasis on innovation, safety, and efficiency positions it as a key player in the future of hydrogen-powered aviation, with the target launch of the BYA-1 set for 2030.
