U.S. Air Force Deploys Beta's Alia Electric Aircraft Prototype
The Alia prototype recently completed two more military exercises with the Air Combat and Air Mobility Commands
Beta Technologies recently completed two more military exercises in the U.S. with its electric Alia aircraft. The Vermont-based developer of electric aircraft and charging infrastructure has been working with the U.S. Department of Defense to demonstrate military uses for electric air taxis such as the Alia.
Earlier this year it completed its first two deployments at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida and the Air National Guard's combat training and readiness center in Savannah, Georgia. For the third and fourth deployments of its Alia aircraft, Beta collaborated with the Air Combat Command and Air Mobility Command, respectively—two of the nine Major Commands of the U.S. Air Force.
