BETA Technologies

BETA Technologies is an aerospace company that designs, manufactures, and flies all-electric aircraft along with the charging infrastructure and electric propulsion systems they depend on. It builds the ALIA CTOL fixed-wing and ALIA VTOL vertical-takeoff aircraft, plus the MV250 autonomous hybrid-electric VTOL for military logistics, and develops its own motors, inverters, and batteries. Its 188,500-square-foot net-zero production facility at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport in South Burlington, Vermont was the first large-scale electric aircraft manufacturing plant in the country and is targeted to reach roughly 300 aircraft per year by 2027.

Vertically integrated across airframe, electric propulsion, and a nationwide charging network — over 50 million people live within 50 miles of an existing BETA Charge Cube — with claimed operating costs 74% below traditional helicopters for VTOL and 42% below conventional aircraft for CTOL.
