Beyond Aero Introduces AeroAI for Hydrogen-Electric Aircraft Development

Beyond Aero introduced AeroAI, an in-house system designed to support development of its proposed six-seat hydrogen-electric business aircraft. The company says the system assists with engineering analysis, certification documents, performance studies and engineering-data management.

Key details

• Beyond Aero says it built AeroAI on Amazon Web Services, using agent-based software and foundation models accessed through Amazon Bedrock.
• The proposed aircraft has a planned range of 800 nautical miles (1,500 km).
• The company says AeroAI’s Sentinel compliance agents assess proposed changes against indexed engineering data and the program’s EASA certification basis.
• Beyond Aero aims for the system to produce a change-impact assessment and proposed actions within 24 hours. The company compares that target with an industry average of 17 days for a medium-sized engineering change.
• Beyond Aero says its Preliminary Design Review package was completed in March 2026 and contained more than 3,000 validated pages. The company attributes the documentation work to 50 engineers over two months, with AeroAI’s assistance.
• The company says AeroAI has assessed more than 500,000 configurations, varying wing geometry, fuel-cell sizing, battery capacity and propulsion layout.
• Beyond Aero says its engineering team has more than 80 people and accountable engineers review and approve AI-generated outputs.

Why it matters

The system is intended to connect engineering changes with aircraft models, requirements and test results, alongside the program’s certification basis. Beyond Aero also says AeroAI can prepare customer route studies using airport information, historical flight times, aircraft performance models, competitor data and airport fees.
