Product Overview
Overview
Beta Technologies provides all-electric aircraft and charging infrastructure, designed to enable air mobility for cargo, medical, and passenger transport.
Betat Technologies solutions include:
- ALIA A250 VTOL: Vertical takeoff & landing all-electric aircraft with 5 passenger and 200 ft³ capacity
- ALIA CX300 CTOL: Conventional takeoff & landing all-electric aircraft 5 passenger and 200 ft³ capacity
- 350 kW Charge Cute: Stationary CCS DC fast charger with up to 1,000 Vdc battery range
- 40 kW Mini Cube: CCS mobile charger with up to 1,000 Vdc battery range
- Battery Conditioning: Active ground-based solution to enable charging in under an hour and proper conditioning of batteries for longevity and performance
Business Model
Beta works with partnerships with organizations hoping to utilize its planes and charging. It also offers an "air taxi" rate.
Technology Innovations
- Electrified aircraft are nascent technologies. Many longer range aircraft are utilizing sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), but this is less feasible for shorter duration flights.
- The company utilizes vertical takeoff & landing (VTOL) technology, which allows planes to land at both airports and veriports.
- Multimodal chargers can be used for different types of vehicles.
Applications
The problems:
- Aviation emissions account for roughly 2.5% of global energy-related CO2 emissions and 9.0% of transportation emissions—its emissions have grown faster than road, rail, and shipping.
- Charging solutions have proven a major hurdle for electric aviation though.
Beta Technologies approach:
- Beta Technologies enables faster and easier transport with 84% less emissions from the company's eVTOL aircraft and 75% less emissions from the eCTOL aircraft.
- The aircraft reduces noise emissions, along with CO2 emissions.
- BETA’s UL certified Charge Cube address this by providing interoperable charging that can be utilized by both its aircrafts and ground vehicles. It is also developing a mobile Mini Cube.
