NBAA-BACE To Feature Emerging Tech Pavilion

NBAA has announced further exhibitors participating in the Emerging Technology Pavilion at NBAA-BACE 2026, which will be held next week in Las Vegas. This cluster of exhibitors will showcase progress in advanced air mobility, including electric propulsion technology, the industry group confirmed on Wednesday.

Among the companies occupying the Emerging Technology Pavilion will be French start-up Beyond Aero, which is developing an eight-passenger hydrogen-electric business jet called the BYA-1. The company has recently unveiled some design changes for an aircraft expected to have a range of 800 nm when it enters service in the early 2030s.

DTA Aircraft is displaying a full-scale, flying example of its two-seat hybrid-electric VTOL, featuring retractable booms so that it can be moved on a trailer for storage. The company said it has already logged more than 200 flight-test hours on the prototype.

Regent Craft will promote its all-electric Seaglider at the business aviation show. The Rhode Island-based start-up is developing versions of the vessel for passenger-carrying missions, as well as for cargo and military applications. 

“NBAA is thrilled to have with us companies that are paving the way to a new chapter of on-demand aviation that will usher in an era defined by faster, safer, and more sustainable transportation,” said NBAA interim COO Dan Hubbard.
