First successful eVTOL flight
Blade Air Mobility has announced the successful completion of a historic test flight of BETA's ALIA- EVA (Electric Vertical Aircraft) at Westchester County Airport in White Plains, New York.
The successful eVTOL flight marks the first test of a piloted EVA in the New York City metropolitan area and is a significant milestone in the companies' continued partnership to provide safe, quiet and sustainable air transportation to commercial and passenger customers. .
Blade Air Mobility is an air mobility platform powered by technology and BETA Technologies (BETA), an electric aerospace company that develops EVA (also known as eVTOL ) and supports charging infras C Level Executive List tructure. Beta Technologies is the one who developed the Alia- aircraft powered by an all-electric propulsion system with vertical takeoff and landing capability. It has a noise profile that is / the sound decibel level of conventional helicopters, making it ideal for use in urban areas.
The aircraft can fly up to six people and features a sleek, modern design with a range of features to ensure the highest levels of safety and comfort.
During the test flight, the ALIA- flew alongside a conventional helicopter before moving away for a second pass over the airport to highlight the dramatic noise reduction.
It has been two years since it first committed to purchasing up to passenger-configured ALIA- aircraft from BETA from its operator network. Blade intends to deploy these initial aircraft on routes between its network of dedicated terminals in the US. BETA has also agreed to provide and install charging infrastructure at certain key locations.
Over the past three years, BETA has demonstrated strong, reliable performance with its two full-scale prototype aircraft, achieving significant milestones toward certification and commercialization. BETA also had U.S. Air Force and Army test pilots fly the ALIA- in full pattern evaluations in March and July , respectively.
BETA also partnered with the FAA and the National Aviation Research Institute to conduct the first -foot drop tests of its full-scale battery packs, successfully completing the test and advancing the industry's path toward standards. security and certification.
