French startup Beyond Aero is making waves in the aviation industry with its groundbreaking hydrogen-powered jet, the BYA-1. This 10-seat business jet is designed around a battery-free hydrogen-electric propulsion system, promising to revolutionize air travel with its entry into service targeted for 2030. The aircraft boasts six hydrogen cylinders and fuel cells producing 2.4 MW of power for a range of up to 1,381 miles at reduced speeds. Beyond Aero anticipates a 55% reduction in operational costs and a 17% decrease in fuel expenses by 2030. Moreover, the BYA-1's zero carbon emissions align with industry goals for sustainability, and its quieter cabin enhances passenger comfort significantly. The company is actively pursuing certification, having demonstrated tangible progress with the first manned hydrogen-electric flight in France. With substantial capital and strong sales interest, Beyond Aero is poised to disrupt traditional air travel and drive the adoption of cleaner aviation technologies, essential for achieving zero-carbon goals by 2050.
