Beta Alia CX300
- Battery Capacity:
- Propulsion System: Single pusher propeller (direct drive)
- Service Ceiling (Max Altitude):
- Takeoff / Landing Type: Conventional runway (CTOL)
PROS
- Zero-emission flight: 100% electric propulsion reduces environmental impact.
- Low operating cost: Energy and maintenance costs significantly lower than traditional aircraft.
- Quiet operation: Ideal for urban and regional air mobility.
- High range for electric aircraft: ~386 miles range beats most eVTOL competitors.
- Flexible design: Convertible between cargo and passenger use.
- Proven long-distance flights: Demonstrated cross-country missions across the U.S.
CONS
- Long charging times compared to fuel refueling.
- Range still limited versus conventional turboprops or jets.
- Certification pending, so commercial operations not yet approved.
- Battery weight reduces payload and performance.
- Infrastructure limited — requires dedicated megawatt-class chargers.
