Beyond Aero is building the first electric business aircraft powered by hydrogen propulsion, enabling six passengers to fly up to 800 NM (1,500 km)—five times farther than a battery-powered aircraft. Founded in December 2020, the company is redesigning the architecture of a CS23 aircraft around hydrogen-electric propulsion, focusing on fuel cell technology, hydrogen tank integration, and advanced cooling systems. With offices in Toulouse, Paris, and Los Angeles, the startup boasts a team of over 50 highly qualified engineers from leading aerospace companies, actively recruiting 40 more. Beyond Aero has raised more than $44 million, with investors including Giant Ventures, Bpifrance, Initialized Capital, Female Funders Found, and 7 Pourcent Ventures. Beyond Aero also completed Y Combinator in 2022. The company has secured $914 million in Letters of Intent (LOIs) for 108 aircraft and recently completed France's first manned, fully hydrogen-electric flight. Beyond Aero is a member of the World Economic Forum's First Movers Coalition and the Alliance for Zero Emission Aviation, underscoring its commitment to electrify aviation with hydrogen propulsion.
