BETA Technologies<\/strong> is introducing its first fully scaled-up electric aircraft built on a production line at its South Burlington, Vermont facility. This development positions BETA at the forefront of aeronautical innovation and the transition to sustainable technologies. <\/p>\n\n

Alia CX300, the first industrially produced electric aircraft<\/h2>\n\n

The 200,000-square-foot facility began operations in October 2023 and can produce up to 300 electric aircraft per year. According to the company, it is the first large-scale electric aircraft factory in the United States. In less than a year, BETA managed to set up the plant with fully installed tooling, an organized supply chain, and assembled propulsion systems. The Alia CX300 model<\/strong> , the company\u2019s flagship electric aircraft, has received the FAA<\/strong> experimental airworthiness certificate<\/em> and has made its maiden flight. <\/p>\n\n

The Alia CX300 aircraft is a conventional takeoff and landing<\/a><\/strong> ( CTOL<\/em> ) version of BETA\u2019s original model, the A250 VTOL<\/em> , which can take off vertically like a helicopter. With over 22,000 flight hours logged, the CX300 has been designed to ensure safe and efficient performance, with full certification planned for 2025. The announcement of the production-line aircraft comes shortly after BETA<\/a><\/strong> announced raising $318 million in a Series C capital round. <\/p>\n\n

\u201c This achievement validates our efforts toward commercializing electric aviation<\/em> ,\u201d said BETA Technologies<\/strong> Founder and CEO Kyle Clark, who piloted the aircraft on its inaugural flight. Clark added: \u201c We have worked with our partners to demonstrate the reliability of our aircraft and cargo systems across the country. Now, we are beginning to deliver products to our customers, with a shared vision for a cleaner future. <\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n
