BETA Technologies is a manufacturer of electric VTOL and CTOL aircraft, along with pilot training and charging networks, developed as an integrated electric aviation ecosystem. Its five-passenger ALIA aircraft is offered in both VTOL and CTOL configurations and is designed by pilots with a focus on operational simplicity and real-world use. The company’s efforts center on delivering safe, reliable, and sustainable electric transportation through aircraft, infrastructure, and supporting systems built to operate together.
As part of their development process, engineers at BETA used the Flight Stand 50 to test subscale prototypes of their VTOL aircraft in a custom wind tunnel setup. The compact stand provided reliable performance throughout the tests, helping the team gather key data during early-stage development.
Here’s what Kyle Werner, engineer at BETA Technologies, had to say about the experience:
"We used the Flight Stand 50 to test subscale prototypes of our VTOL model. We used an in-house wind tunnel setup and the test stand worked beautifully."
