The Alia CX300, a totally electrical plane from Beta Applied sciences, has been noticed within the UK skies as a part of a European tour. Designed and constructed within the USA, the five-seat plane was shipped to Eire and flown from Shannon to Weston Airport, then throughout the Irish Sea to Liverpool, and onwards to Birmingham and Coventry. In contrast to an eVTOL, the Alia CX300 is a traditional take-off and touchdown plane supposed for regional transport. It may well carry as much as 5 passengers or 566kg of freight, boasting a most vary of 336nm and a prime cruise pace of 135kt.
The European tour goals to showcase the CX300’s capabilities, with a deliberate supply to Bristow Group in Norway for trials overseen by the Norwegian Civil Aviation Authority. Beta Applied sciences is working with Future Mobility Campus Eire to develop charging infrastructure, planning to put in stations at Shannon Airport by 2026. This follows a profitable US tour the place the Alia CX300 flew 8,000nm throughout 25 states, demonstrating its reliability and Beta’s charging community growth.
