BETA TECHNOLOGIES’ Post

Michigan is a longtime leader in transforming mobility, and with the state’s recent investment in AAM readiness, it’s proving why. BETA is honored to be one of the recipients of this funding, and are ready to get to work building our chargers across the state.

ALIA is back home after a quick summer road trip! Over the past month, we’ve executed evaluative deployments with two Major Commands of the United States Air Force – the Air Combat Command and the Air Mobility Command – carrying out real-time missions such as critical resupply, cargo delivery, medical evacuation simulations, and asset relocation. Huge thanks to the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center in Alpena, Michigan; the Dover Air Force Base in Dover, Delaware; the McGuire Air Force Base in Burlington County, New Jersey; and AFWERX for their support and partnership.

Great news for the industry today from Archer and Signature Aviation. We're glad to deepen ties with two of our partners as we all work to grow the charge network and get ready for operations.

Thanks to all those in Congress who worked to pass the bipartisan Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization bill today. This legislation reauthorizes the FAA and includes provisions that will advance the Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) industry and enable investments in infrastructure that will help bring low-cost electric aviation to communities around the country!

"We’ve been testing over the last several years, all of the different data points to bring [ALIA] through what we call ‘transition,’ which is the point at which it’s flying like a helicopter to flying like an airplane (and back again). And, today, we’re going to thread them all together.” - Kyle Clark

With the official UL certification of our Charge Cube, we look forward to continue growing our charging network and supporting both electric aircraft and ground vehicles across the country.

It was a pleasure to host Chair Reta Jo Lewis, Esq., Director Owen Herrnstadt and the Export-Import Bank of the United States team in Vermont. We were happy to share the progress we’re making toward deployment, and to show off all the other wonderful things happening in this great state.

It was great to visit with the team at Joint Base Cape Cod last week! We thank them and our partners at AFWERX for their continued support as we collaborate on missions that demonstrate the future of operational capabilities for the United States Department of Defense.

We’re excited to be partnering with Signature Aviation to electrify some of their private terminals. Our charger is already online at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, with more sites to come in the next few months!
