Over the course of three days, BETA flew to six airports across the state to give Utahns an up close view of its ALIA aircraft and an understanding of the technology and its capabilities.
BETA pilots Noah Ranallo and Nate Dubie flew into Salt Lake City Airport, Provo Airport, Heber City Airport, Logan-Cache Valley Airport, Ogden Airport, and Vernal Airport, covering more than 350 miles.
The series of flights highlighted the quiet efficiency of AAM, cutting travel distance by two-thirds as compared to relative drive times.
BETA’s ALIA is designed for utility, with the ability to transport up to five passengers or 1,250 pounds of cargo.
In addition, the company’s Charge Cubes utilize the industry standard accepted by most air taxi manufacturers around the world.
BETA’s Charge Cubes can also be used to charge ground vehicles, making them a cutting-edge technological innovation that will further enhance the scalability of air transportation while simultaneously helping to meet the needs of ground vehicles.
