Beta TechnologiesIn Certification
BETA's aerospace-grade pusher motor is sold as a standalone propulsion product as well as used inside the ALIA family, giving the company a component business beyond aircraft deliveries.

BETA completed FAA conformity work on all H500A test units in 2025, and type certification slipped past the original H1 2026 target on the FAA's required 'continued rotation' containment test. In its Q2 2026 results (August 12, 2026), BETA reported it reached agreement with the FAA on a continued-rotation compliance approach, completed durability and lightning-strike teardowns with strong results, and substantially completed software requirements-based testing, with formal FAA testing now underway. The Q2 call said the A250 will use the H500B, an amended type-certificate variant that builds on the H500A. BETA's motor page now lists an H500B pusher at 640 kW max / 300 kW continuous alongside the H500A figures. As of September 20, 2026, no further public certification date has been given since Q2 results.

Conventional takeoff and landing electric aircraft in BETA's ALIA family, designed for cargo, medical, and regional passenger missions using existing airport infrastructure. BETA's stepwise commercialization plan puts the CTOL aircraft into service first before the VTOL variant.
The crewed, all-electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) member of the ALIA family - a lift-plus-cruise design with four fixed-pitch overhead rotors for vertical lift and a single rear pusher propeller for forward cruise. It shares roughly 80% commonality with the CX300, including flight controls and cockpit layout, and is the aircraft the defense-focused MV250 is derived from.
BETA's multimodal charging ecosystem spans fixed Charge Cubes, mobile Mini Cubes, and thermal management systems for electric aircraft and EVs. It is designed as both enabling infrastructure for ALIA and a third-party charging product line, and anchors the July 2026 ACES consortium with Archer Aviation and Macquarie Capital to build up to 250 interoperable U.S. sites by 2030.
Autonomous hybrid-electric VTOL derivative of the A250 aimed at contested military logistics, CASEVAC, and other defense missions where payload, austere operation, range, and optional autonomy matter more than urban air taxi economics. Formally unveiled at the July 2026 Farnborough Airshow, it pairs a GE Aerospace CT7/T700 hybrid-electric turbine propulsion system with Sikorsky's MATRIX autonomy stack.
