BETA Technologies reports it has achieved an important milestone with the first flight of its Alia CX300 conventional take off and landing aircraft assembled directly on its production line.
According to a company Linkedin post:
“Within a year, we’ve gone from a certificate of occupancy on our 200,000 sq ft manufacturing facility in South Burlington, Vermont, to fully installed aerospace tooling, an organized and shored up supply chain, and manufactured propulsion systems. Now we’ve rolled an aircraft off the production line, gotten an airworthiness certificate from the FAA, and flown it for the first time.”
The CX300 is a single pilot aircraft powered by a H500A Electric Motor, capable of transporting five passengers at up to 135 kts over 336 nautical miles.
