From the Las Vegas Convention Center’s towering entryway atrium, to the show’s Emerging Tech Pavilion, the newest aircraft defining the future of on-demand air transport will be showcased at this year’s National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE).
NBAA-BACE will take place Oct. 20-22 at the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport (HND).
The industry is evolving rapidly, and NBAA-BACE show-goers will have an up-close look at the promise of safe, efficient, sustainable AAM transport, with electric, hybrid and even hydrogen aircraft on display, including:
- Beyond Aero (www.beyond-aero.com), which is developing ONE, a hydrogen-electric business aircraft designed for six passengers and missions up to 800 nautical miles. At NBAA-BACE, Beyond Aero will give operators a hands-on look at the aircraft and its intended operations. Visitors will be able to inspect a scale model, explore an interactive 3D digital twin, bring their own routes to analyze through HADES (Hydrogen Aircraft Data Exploration Software), and step virtually inside the cabin through an immersive Apple Vision Pro experience.
- DTA Aircraft (www.dta-aircraft.com), maker of the JP1, a two-seater hybrid eVTOL aircraft capable of two-hour flights with two people onboard. The aircraft that will be displayed is an actual flying aircraft, not a mockup. This prototype has logged more than 200 hours of flight. The unique design allows its booms to retract so it can be trailered and stored without a hangar.
- REGENT Craft (www.regentcraft.com), which develops and manufactures the all-electric Seaglider, a zero-emissions maritime vessel designed to carry passengers, cargo, or execute defense missions along coastal routes.
“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.
Taking place Oct. 20-22, NBAA-BACE is the world’s most powerful business aviation event of the year, showcasing the industry’s latest innovations and services, and hosting the leaders who are shaping its future.
