Beta Technologies flew its all-electric Alia CX300 at the 2026 Farnborough International Airshow, putting the CTOL aircraft in front of operators and buyers at one of aviation’s highest-visibility venues. The appearance advances Beta’s certification narrative as it targets FAA type certification later in 2026, while also reinforcing the aircraft’s commercial case in cargo and passenger roles. The CX300’s runway-based architecture keeps it aligned with conventional airport infrastructure, and the show presence broadened attention to the company’s MV250 uncrewed variant. For the sector, the flight marks a transition from development messaging to public demonstration on a global stage.
