Beyond Aero experimentally validates hydrogen-electric architecture in wind tunnel testing

Toulouse, France – January 19th, 2026 - Beyond Aero has successfully completed its first wind tunnel test campaign, a major milestone towards the end of the Preliminary Design phase of its hydrogen-electric aircraft. Conducted over five weeks in autumn 2025 at the German-Dutch Wind Tunnels (DNW) Low-Speed Facility (LST) in Marknesse, the campaign focused on one of the program's most critical challenges: ensuring predictable aerodynamic performance, stability, and control for an aircraft integrating gaseous hydrogen tanks outside the fuselage.
