FAA Grants Airworthiness Certificate to Beta's ALIA eVTOL for Market Flights
The FAA has issued a special airworthiness certificate to Beta Technologies for its ALIA electric aircraft. This significant milestone allows the company to begin for-market evaluation flights with its customers. The certificate applies specifically to the conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) version of the ALIA. Launch partner Bristow Group will be the first to operate the aircraft, using it for critical cargo and logistics missions. This approval is a crucial step towards Beta's goal of achieving full type certification by 2026.
