Beta Technologies has commenced flight testing for its ALIA electric conventional take-off and landing (eCTOL) aircraft at Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina. This operation marks a significant step forward in the company's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) certification program. The move also establishes a new East Coast operational hub for the Vermont-based aerospace firm. In partnership with the U.S. Air Force, Beta is advancing its all-electric aircraft designed for both cargo and passenger transport. The company aims to deploy the aircraft for logistics missions with partners like UPS and Bristow upon successful certification.
