Electric aviation company Beta Technologies, which has been developing an eVTOL aircraft since 2017, plans to certify a conventional-style version of its all-electric model, the company announced today. Called the CX300, the fixed-wing, conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft will look similar to the company’s six-seat Alia-250 eVTOL aircraft, but it will take off and land like an airplane. It will not have the ability to take off and land vertically like an eVTOL.
Beta intends to develop and certify the CX300 alongside the Alia-250, with the CX300 being certified under the FAA’s Part 23 rules for small airplanes while the Alia-250 will be certified under the new 21.17 (b) rules for powered lift aircraft. It aims to achieve type certification and begin delivering the aircraft to customers in 2025.
