News Summary

• Beta Technologies is developing an electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, or eVTOL.
• The Alia CX300 can carry five passengers and one pilot, with no divider between the cockpit and the cabin.
• Up to five battery packs stored in the belly of the aircraft provide around 250 kWh of energy — roughly 390 miles of range under ideal conditions.
• Beta has spent years developing its electric propulsion system in-house, with separate versions for its cTOL and upcoming e VTOL aircraft.
