Overview

• The BYA-1 is designed to be the world's first hydrogen-electric-powered light jet, targeting certification by 2030 under EASA regulations.
• The latest design includes a redundant hydrogen fuel cell system with two independent power channels, enhancing safety and reliability.
• The liquid-hydrogen fuel tank is now positioned above the wing box to improve crashworthiness and eliminate high-pressure fuel lines inside the cabin.
• Operational costs are projected to be reduced by over 50%, with fuel costs expected to decrease by up to 65% compared to sustainable aviation fuels.
• Beyond Aero continues to collaborate with Airbus and has raised $20 million in funding to support the development of the BYA-1.
