#25 - Eloa Guillotin and Luiz Oliveira - Beyond Aero: Hydrogen for business aviation

Revolution.Aero Season 1 Episode 25

In this episode we welcome co-founder and CEO Eloa Guillotin and chief engineer Luiz Oliveira from Beyond Aero. 

Beyond is a Toulouse, France-based aircraft developer building the BYA-1 — a hydrogen-electric business aircraft targeted at sustainable business aviation with routes like Paris–Nice and Paris–Geneva.

Guillotin and Oliveira share how the story behind the company's founding during the pandemic, why hydrogen fuel cells are key to decarbonising flight and how a modular architecture using off-the-shelf components eases certification under EASA's CS23 standards.

They also emphasise how designing the aircraft from scratch enables efficiency, safety and performance. And much more besides.
