BETA Technologies
General Information | |
Business: | (Incorporated in Delaware)We are an electric plane manufacturer. We develop electric aircraft, their critical systems and components (such as motors and batteries) and GSE to charge them. We believe this enables our customers to complete all-electric, cargo and logistics, medical transport, and passenger missions at lower operating costs.We are redefining the aerospace industry. We have developed an electric aircraft platform and propulsion systems that are positioned to transform the aviation industry forward into a new phase of growth. We design, manufacture and sell high-performance electric aircraft, advanced electric propulsion systems, charging systems and components. Further, we have invested in the underlying infrastructure of this breakthrough technology, which is critical to bringing electric aviation to life. We believe we have developed a differentiated presence in North America and are well positioned to expand globally.We believe our ALIA CTOL electric aircraft is at the forefront of the electric aviation industry. The ALIA CTOL has successfully flown thousands of flights, nearly 83,000 nautical miles, including operations in North America and Europe. This includes the world’s first, all-electric passenger flights into John F. Kennedy International Airport, which utilized approximately $7.00 in flight fuel costs, demonstrating electric aircraft’s integration into congested national airspace and approximately 95% in fuel cost savings when compared to a combustion aircraft based on internal estimates. Our ALIA CTOL also made its debut at the Paris Air Show in June 2025 opening the show with an aerial ballet demonstrating the performance and agility of our electric aircraft. Further, our aircraft has been used by the U.S. Military in training missions and flown by the FAA, providing us with valuable data with respect to our aircraft and our certification strategy. We have also completed successful missions with the U.S. Military and cargo and logistics and medical partners and customers such as UPS and United Therapeutics Corporation (“United Therapeutics”).Our ProductsALIA CTOL (CX300) – Designed for all-weather deployment and reliability, our CTOL aircraft transports six people or 200 cubic feet of cargo plus two crew members on missions of up to approximately 215 nautical miles. This aircraft is intended to leverage existing airport infrastructure and fly in accordance with existing procedures to enable rapid adoption. We are targeting FAA Part 23 certification at the end of 2026 or early 2027. Our Backlog for the CTOL consists of 331 units, of which 131 units are for Firm Orders and 200 units are for Options. Examples of key CTOL launch customers include Air New Zealand and United Therapeutics, highlighting the versatility of the aircraft. We have not yet delivered any certified aircraft, and therefore, no associated revenue has been recognized.ALIA VTOL A250 (Piloted, Electric) ALIA VTOL (A250) – The ALIA VTOL (A250) is a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, allowing it to operate from locations with or without runway access. We believe our simple and efficient design differentiates us from others in the industry – enabling a clear path to certification, lower operating costs, high reliability and class-leading range and payload.Our Backlog for the ALIA VTOL consists of 560 units, of which 158 units are for Firm Orders and 402 units are for Options, with a goal of achieving type certification (“Type Certification”) towards the end of 2027 or early 2028. Our order book highlights the broad capabilities of our aircraft across: cargo and logistics, including orders from UPS and Bristow; medical operations, including orders from Metro Aviation and New Zealand Air Ambulance; and passenger operations, including orders from FlyNYON. We have not yet delivered any certified aircraft, and therefore, no associated revenue has been recognized.ALIA Defense VTOL MV250 (Autonomous, Hybrid)ALIA Defense VTOL (MV250) – The MV250 is the military variant of our VTOL aircraft and draws heavily from the ALIA platform. The capability specifications from our cargo and logistics customers stack up closely with specifications from the U.S. Military for their next generation aircraft, including capabilities such as long range, low heat/noise signature operations and the potential to operate autonomously. The specifications from these customers, which we expect to be able to deliver, are for a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft that can carry up to one ton (approximately 2,000 pounds) 250 nautical miles, which is priced between $5-10 million, and has operating cost benefits over existing aircraft models.We expect multiple military branches to use ALIA defense VTOLs in their operations. We remain a candidate for the USMC’s Aerial Logistic Connector program which seeks to fill the large size class contested logistics. Additionally, the Army established the Contested Logistics Cross-Functional Team under Army Futures Command to generate requirements that will drive future programs of record.Larger Aircraft – We are in the development phase of a larger aircraft initially designed to carry up to 19 passengers. We are able to move rapidly by leveraging our existing technologies and experience from existing aircraft. We believe this product will further expand our market share by creating new opportunities for operators to realize the benefits of electric aviation in large aircraft. The timeline for obtaining civil certification of the larger commercial airplane has yet to be determined.Note: Net loss and revenue are for the 12 months that ended June 30, 2025.(Note: BETA Technologies filed its S-1 on Sept. 29, 2025, without disclosing the terms for its IPO. Estimated IPO proceeds are about $100 million, a placeholder figure.) |
