Thierry Dubois, European Technology Editor at Aviation Week Network, discusses Beyond Aero’s hydrogen-electric aircraft that is being showcased at EBACE 2024.

The initial aircraft is planned to launch into a company testing program around the end of this year using only the thermal engine.

The system is intended to enable dispatchers, controllers and pilots to see which areas and contrail formation altitudes to avoid.

New, more capable single-aisle turboprops have shaken up deliveries in the business aviation turboprop market.

Chief Commercial Officer Sebastien Borel spoke with Aviation Week Network ShowNews on the EBACE sidelines.

The campaign was launched by NBAA-BACE in October to advance the industry’s commitment to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.

If the sector seems to be pinning its hopes on unproven technologies coming to the rescue by 2050, its PR problems may only just be beginning.

The training specialist forecasts that in less than 10 years, more than 8,000 bizav pilots and 10,000 private jet MRO technicians will be needed in Europe alone.
