The company Beta, which owns a lot of different patents of the future, is thinking about a new type of aircraft. About a cross between an airplane, a helicopter or a drone, which would not need a runway, an airport and conventional fuel.
For flying craft Alia, inspired by wings polar terns, the bird that flies the greatest distances each year on migration appears to be achieving the greatest possible efficiency. It uses four upward facing rotors for takeoff and one rear propeller for forward motion. The wide wing shape and double "tail" is a combination that engineers hope will give it an electric range of up to 250 miles with a single battery charge. The company, which otherwise develops artificial organs for transplantation, is known for its revolutionary ideas. And this time their ideas extend into a whole new industry.
But it's not just about the concept. The company says that they have been working with the new form of mobility since in 2017, Alia Eutol however, it recently received permission for test flights.
