BETA Technologies completes Utah eIPP flight tests for electric radiopharmaceutical deliveries
BETA•BETA Technologies completed five days of Utah flight operations under the FAA’s eVTOL Integration Pilot Program, testing regional radiopharmaceutical deliveries with its all-electric ALIA CTOL aircraft.
1. Testing delivery operations
The demonstration tested a regional logistics model for radiopharmaceutical cargo, including drugs that lose potency within hours. The program will collect data on reliability, flight time, charging turnaround, weather performance and cost to support commercial scaling decisions. Work with Alpine Air aims to assess whether electric aircraft can supplement conventional fleets.
