Beta Technologies are in Ireland this week and at @westonairport today, making history with Ireland's first fully electric flights. I was lucky enough to fly this amazing machine last year and am excited for it to become an everyday thing in general aviation. Electric light aviation has been promised for a long time, and is *finally* starting to happen.

[Kyle Clark @KyleBetaClark]

@stanceai @collision @westonairport Short answer, simpler is safer. Yes. Batteries are engineered products and electric motors are inherently more reliable.

The vision, commitment and energy @EXIMChair Lewis brings to our country is infectious. Thank you and your aerospace team! And thank you @POTUS for setting the table :-) We will for sure, “Make More in America!”

Thrilled to stand w/ Beta Tech. CEO @KyleBetaClark @APECCEOSummitUS to announce that under the @POTUS Admin. & our #MMIA initiative, EXIM authorized a $169M loan to #BETA to finance its electric aircraft manufacturing facility, which will support 400 #CleanEnergy jobs in Vermont.

@GovPhilScott Thanks Gov! Your leadership and commitment to VT are inspiring. Back to work. @GovPhilScott

[Governor Phil Scott @GovPhilScott]

Vermonters are proud that BETA continues to be a global leader, and receive the recognition and support that will help it change the world. 2/2

Here in the hangar we are getting a first look at the new @UPSAirlines electric plane alongside a 747. @840WHAS

I mean seriously… best job in the world? Airplanes are cool… flying one we designed and built is even cooler. #electricaviation @ Burlington International Airport - BTV https://t.co/2ZM1w8OgmY

@RobertChannick @robertchannick beautiful PHOTO of ALIA :-) it’s the real deal (not a rendering), come see it fly.

[Artur Adib @r2r]

There she is: the gorgeous Alia. So much hard work from an incredible engineering team – based out of, you guessed it, Vermont – is now revealed. Go @KyleBetaClark and team! 💪 https://t.co/NC78TyMQIl

[Kyle Clark @KyleBetaClark]

@Lilium How much power is used to fly vertically and how much control margin on top of that do you have installed? @lilium what is the air exit velocity of the electric jets?

[Kyle Clark @KyleBetaClark]

@BrandondelPozo @OneNorthAvenue Not nearly enough... the repeated lies and planting of comments by more than two intentionally deceitful officers. @brandondelpozo change your culture.

@TerrafugiaInc @VTOLsociety ummmm. @terrafugiainc... what is your baseline? Air travel is 1000 times safer than road... and TO/LNDG/taxi is ~2mi at each end and avg flight is 2.3kmi, it is still safer to lnd/to/taxi in a plane than drive a car :-/ who are you trying to scare?

I am so f’n lucky... although my hands froze on the controls at 4deg in KPBG today :-) https://t.co/QES4FeRtzn

Can’t wait to release the next aircraft!
