Up To 125 BETA ALIA-250 eVTOLs Ordered BETA Technologies is one of those eVTOL companies that have been quietly working on their offering while making some noise. A large order was placed for their eVTOL thrusting them back into the news spotlight again. A company called LCI is acquiring 50 of the BETA ALIA-250 eVTOL electric aircraft with the view to order up to 125 in total. The 250 in the model name is significant as it reflects the range the aircraft is touted to have, 250 miles. It will be able to carry up to 5 persons and the pilot as well as 1,400 lbs of useful load.
BETA suggests the eVTOL will be able to fully charge in an hour or less. Jaspal Jandu, CEO of LCI said, "we are embracing this new era of sustainable flight and BETA Technologies’ innovative approach makes them a natural and credible partner for LCI. We believe that the aircraft’s blend of rechargeable battery power, significant internal capacity, and plentiful range is an optimal one. We are confident it will be a popular choice for operators and end-users seeking to develop and augment their fleets with this truly sustainable technology." The new eVTOL aircraft will complement LCI’s existing fleet of modern helicopters and fixed wing aircraft, and almost double the number of aircraft on its aviation platform to over 270 units.
