Beyond Aviation
Transforming aviation with clean energy solutions

Homeabout Beyond Aviation, formerly Bye Energy, is poised to transform the aviation community with a safe, economical, efficient, and quiet, low-emission "green" aircraft propulsion alternative to the internal combustion engine through an electric hybrid propulsion system.


Beyond Aviation has signed a joint development agreement with Cessna to collaborate on integrating the EHPS on a Cessna 172 demonstrator. The company's target market consists of new Cessna 172s and retrofitting existing Cessna 172s and other general aviation aircraft beginning in the U.S. and Europe. With an existing fleet of 43,000 aircraft the Cessna 172 is the most popular training aircraft in history. Use of an EHPS provides the aircraft with a modern, turbine-like, high-tech zero emission, very low operating cost electric propulsion system.


Beyond Aviation is a clean energy solutions integrator for general aviation. The company is headquartered in Englewood, Colorado with an additional facility at Rocky Mountain Metro Airport in Broomfield, Colorado
