BETA Technologies “U.S Coast-to-Coast Flights Continue”

BETA Tech­nolo­gies con­tin­ues to fly, fly and fly its ALIA 916LF elec­tric air­craft from U.S Coast-to-Coast with its lat­est adven­ture cov­er­ing more than 20 States and stop­ping at 82 air­ports, reports a press release.

The jour­ney allowed the com­pa­ny to vis­it busi­ness part­ners; prove future routes; val­i­date IFR and high cadence capa­bil­i­ties; as well as vis­it land­marks and com­mu­ni­ties across Amer­i­ca… all while elec­tric-charg­ing on its own infra­struc­ture. 

In fact, over the last six weeks, the air­craft has demon­strat­ed high-cadence oper­a­tions, com­plet­ing up to four flights per day, as well as prov­ing reli­a­bil­i­ty and low-cost of next gen­er­a­tion flight. Most impor­tant­ly, these now rou­tine flights using pro­duc­tion air­craft, reflects the ease of inte­gra­tion in to the Nation­al Air Space. 

This lat­est jour­ney is anoth­er impor­tant series of hands-on test­ing that allows BETA to val­i­date the safe­ty and ease of oper­a­tions of its tech­nol­o­gy before prepar­ing to deliv­er the air­craft it to cus­tomers, begin­ning lat­er this year.

High­lights of the Jour­ney

: Flew past the icon­ic Hol­ly­wood Sign in Los Ange­les, demon­strat­ing oper­a­tional flex­i­bil­i­ty in dif­fer­ent envi­ron­ments.

: Com­plet­ed six routes to cities across Utah, engag­ing with near­ly 1,000 local offi­cials and com­mu­ni­ty mem­bers.

: Intro­duced BETA’s tech­nol­o­gy to near­ly 150 mem­bers of the Fed­er­al Avi­a­tion Admin­is­tra­tion (FAA), sup­port­ing the com­pa­ny’s cer­ti­fi­ca­tion progress.

: Con­duct­ed an IFR flight into the busiest air­port in the world — Harts­field-Jack­son Atlanta Inter­na­tion­al Air­port.

: Suc­cess­ful­ly utilised BETA’s expand­ing nation­wide infra­struc­ture, prov­ing the via­bil­i­ty of reli­able, low-cost elec­tric avi­a­tion oper­a­tions.

: Pilot­ed by a rotat­ing team of three avi­a­tors: Noah Ranal­lo, Nate Dubie, and Chris Caputo, who nav­i­gat­ed diverse ter­rains and con­di­tions to demon­strate the aircraft’s oper­a­tional capa­bil­i­ties.

Nate Dubie, the ALIA Pilot, remarked, “Hav­ing the oppor­tu­ni­ty to fly our air­craft across the coun­try has been an incred­i­ble expe­ri­ence, not just because of the places we saw, but because of the peo­ple we met along the way.”

He con­tin­ued, “See­ing some icon­ic Amer­i­can scenes like the Grand Canyon from the cock­pit was tru­ly spe­cial. But just as excit­ing was the enthu­si­asm of so many com­mu­ni­ties across the coun­try who want­ed to learn about this air­craft and the tech­nol­o­gy behind it.” Adding, “This trip was a great way to put the air­craft and infra­struc­ture through their paces ahead of deliv­er­ing to cus­tomers this year.”
