BETA signed has signed a partnership with 47G to begin the build-out of an AAM ecosystem in Utah. “With the support of Governor Cox and the state, this will be the first step in a 10-year, well-planned, multiphase vision 47G has dreamt up to bring this new mode of transportation to the state,” said the company in a website story covering the announcement.
“Our partnership will leverage Utah’s existing infrastructure, focusing first on building a foundational network of charging stations at public-use airports. This will support initial airport-to-airport AAM operations, demonstrating how the lower operating costs will unlock new opportunities like moving small packages or critical medical equipment. Then, Utah will integrate eVTOL operations, carrying passengers for their regular city-to-city commute, luxury tourism experience, or 2034 Olympics travel.
“With this, Utah is helping to create a new blueprint for how public-private partnerships can drive technological innovation.
“Our collaboration goes beyond simply introducing new technology — we’re creating a comprehensive approach to reimagining transportation. This partnership isn’t just about low cost operations. It’s about re-imagining how we move, connect, and solve big challenges.“
