Beyond Aero is dedicated to addressing the urgent need for climate action by pioneering the development of the first electric business aircraft powered by hydrogen. Their core mission is to revolutionize aviation through electrification, beginning with business aviation due to its high emissions per passenger, significantly exceeding those of commercial flights. The company has achieved key technological milestones, including France's first manned fully hydrogen-electric flight. They have also appointed Luiz Oliveira, previously an advisor on Embraer’s hybrid hydrogen program, as Chief Engineer. Beyond Aero has already secured substantial interest, with $914 million in Letters of Intent (LOIs) for 108 aircraft. Their innovative approach has been recognized with several awards, including Brilliant Minds and the Sustainable Aviation Challenge by the World Economic Forum, leading to their inclusion in the First Movers Coalition.
