BETA ALIA-250c
BETA ALIA-250c
(OP)
thoughts ?
a 7000 lb plane ... so Part 23
250 nm range ... well that's good, but payload ? reserves ??
maybe 4 pax ?
speed ?
knowing the installed battery capacity would be nice
recovery chute (like Cirrus) ?
I'm not sure that a primarily helicopter is an efficient mode for electric planes ... giving up on "free" lift ?
possibly the lift fans drop power in flight as the wings develop lift.
It is a pretty puny looking pusher prop ?
they do note ...

RE: BETA ALIA-250c
lots of similar competitors, with dreams (fantasies) for getting certified. will be interesting to see it all play out. FAA just published certification conditions for Joby, https://public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2022...
and assuming one of these gets certified, and actually into production, what is the market going to be for usage? are we going to see 1000's flying over LA and NYC every day??
stay tuned ........

RE: BETA ALIA-250c

Because complexity is good.
RE: BETA ALIA-250c
But it is definitely a bit OTT to do VTOL. At least it hovers.
