BETA Technologies has raised its full-year 2026 revenue guidance to $42 million to $50 million after reporting second-quarter revenue of $14.7 million, up 146% from a year earlier. The electric aircraft developer’s near-term sales are being driven by its Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration programme and charger deliveries to the Florida Department of Transportation, while certification and commercial deliveries of its aircraft are still in progress.
The guidance increase reflects a widening revenue base beyond aircraft. Management is selling propulsion systems, chargers and flight-control hardware and software to third parties, including other aerospace customers, as the company builds out its platform. Flight control computers are becoming a larger part of that mix, alongside motors and batteries, and are expected to carry higher margins than many earlier-stage products.
That expansion is helping BETA create a commercial bridge while it advances certification work on its electric aircraft. The company also reiterated the scale of its spending, setting adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026 at a loss of $400 million to $445 million. The figures underline that BETA remains in an investment-heavy phase even as non-aircraft revenue grows.
