4 terms

thermal management technical

"support the thermal management architecture definition of its aircraft program"

Thermal management is the set of methods and technologies used to control temperature and move heat away from sensitive parts of a device, system, or facility so it stays within safe, efficient limits. For investors, effective thermal management protects product performance and lifespan, reduces safety and warranty risks, and can lower operating and compliance costs—like a building’s heating and cooling that prevents damage and keeps value intact.

hydrogen-electric propulsion technical

"architecture built around hydrogen-electric propulsion"

A propulsion system that uses hydrogen as the energy source to generate electricity which then drives electric motors for movement. It can use hydrogen fuel cells or a hydrogen-fed generator to produce the electricity, similar to how a battery-powered vehicle uses stored electricity, but the hydrogen is the on-board fuel; investors care because it changes fuel and infrastructure needs, emissions profile, operating costs, and market opportunities for transport and energy companies.

fuel-cell propulsion technical

"focused on fuel-cell propulsion, gaseous hydrogen tank integration"

Fuel-cell propulsion uses fuel cells—devices that combine a fuel (commonly hydrogen) with oxygen in an electrochemical reaction—to produce electricity on board and drive electric motors for vehicles, ships, or aircraft. Think of it like a battery that you refuel by adding hydrogen instead of plugging in; it matters to investors because it changes operating costs, emissions profiles, infrastructure needs, and supplier ecosystems, all of which affect capital spending, revenue potential, and regulatory risk.

auxiliary power unit (apu) technical

"thermal management solutions, auxiliary power unit (APU)"

A small onboard generator that provides electrical power and pneumatic pressure for an aircraft when its main engines are off or at low power, used for starting engines, running air conditioning, and powering systems on the ground. Like a building’s backup generator, an APU affects an aircraft’s fuel use, maintenance needs, turnaround time and emissions, so its reliability, efficiency and operating costs matter to airline and aerospace investors.

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- TAT Technologies Ltd. (Nasdaq: TATT), a global leader in aerospace thermal management and system solutions serving leading OEMs, airlines, maintenance organizations, air forces, and defense agencies, today announced a collaboration with Beyond Aero, a pioneering French aerospace company developing the world's first hydrogen-electric business aircraft, to support the thermal management architecture definition of its aircraft program.

Beyond Aero is developing a clean-sheet aircraft architecture built around hydrogen-electric propulsion, which is designed to enable six passengers to fly up to 800 nautical miles (1,500 km), approximately five times farther than comparable battery-powered aircraft.  Founded in 2020, the company is focused on fuel-cell propulsion, gaseous hydrogen tank integration, and advanced thermal management. Beyond Aero operates across Toulouse, Paris, and Los Angeles and is supported by a growing team of more than 80 aerospace engineers from leading global companies.

As part of the collaboration, Beyond Aero is currently integrating TAT Technologies' Universal Cooling System (UCS) into its ONE aircraft design, a scalable, integrated thermal management solution designed to meet the compact size, weight, and performance requirements of next-generation electric and hydrogen-electric aircraft. The UCS is designed to deliver highly efficient, reliable cooling across a wide range of operating conditions, making it well-suited for hydrogen-electric propulsion architectures.

"Hydrogen propulsion represents one of the most promising pathways toward sustainable aviation," said Igal Zamir, CEO of TAT Technologies. "We are proud to support Beyond Aero as they move this technology forward. Our Universal Cooling System was designed with flexibility, efficiency, and reliability in mind — critical attributes for emerging aircraft platforms like Beyond Aero's."

Beyond Aero's mission to decarbonize business aviation — one of the most challenging segments of the aerospace industry to transition — closely aligns with TAT Technologies' commitment to enabling cleaner, smarter aircraft systems. Together, the companies are combining deep engineering expertise and forward-looking innovation to advance hydrogen-electric propulsion, reducing reliance on conventional fuels and helping shape a more sustainable future for flight.

"Partnering with TAT Technologies is an important step in building the industrial ecosystem around our hydrogen-electric aircraft program," said Yannick Schwartzenbart, Head of Program Industrialization at Beyond Aero. "Their experience with leading aerospace customers and mission-critical thermal systems strengthens our ability to develop a reliable, high-performance aircraft architecture while reducing dependence on conventional fuels."

This partnership represents more than a technology collaboration; it reflects a shared vision to rethink aircraft architecture and help shape the future of sustainable flight.
