Logistics Missions

BETA's electric aviation systems are transforming medical, logistics, and military capabilities. Four successful US Department of Defense engagements have integrated this technology into defense applications, advancing performance while safeguarding critical national security assets.

Committed Partners and Customers

With customers across four major verticals and more than 600 aircraft in the backlog, BETA is funded by contracts (military), deposits (civil), charging sales, a federal financing from The Export-Import Bank of the U.S. and equity investment.
"The love and passion they have for the mission, for what they’re doing, and for each other is incredibly palpable. I don’t think you’ll find too many places that have the vibe they have.”
—Chuck Davis, Founder of Stone Point Capital, Lead Independent Director of the Hershey Company, Board Director- Progressive Insurance.

Stay Charged

The Combined Charging System (CCS) standard connects
BETA Charge Cubes to all types of CCS electric aircraft and electric vehicles, ensuring the safest, fastest, and most reliable charge. JOIN THE CHARGE NETWORK
