Air Show Takes: MV250 Unveiled, Momentum in Hybrid & eIPP

dization a Bridge to Open Fan Commercial Aviation. BETA, along w/ GE and BA, completed

the first public demonstration of the NASA Electrified Powertrain Flight Demonstration (EPFD) Exhibit 2 - BETA's Exhibit 3 - MV250's

project, conducting the industry's first hybrid-electric flight above 30,000ft. The campaign used Hybrid-Electric Hybrid Unlock Through

a modified Saab 340B testbed w/ GE's MW-class hybrid-electric system and a CT7 engine, w/ Turbogenerator Turbogenerator

Developed w/ GE Developed w/ GE

BETA as systems integrator ferrying the aircraft across the North Atlantic in hybrid-electric mode.

Hybridization is expected to deliver fuel savings, higher reliability and more speed, reaching altitude

faster and landing w/ more fuel and reserves. The CT7 is the most-stocked engine in DoW inventory,

a logical fit for the MV250 that eases scale-up, w/ the architecture also applicable to turboprops

and smaller turbofans. Mgmt sees it as a piece of the puzzle toward hybrid commercial aviation

and a step toward open fan, w/ the learnings feeding the MV250.

eIPP Operations Underway, Part 135 the Path to Revenue. Following its selection for 7/8 eIPP

launch programs (7/7 electric), BETA flew its first mission ~two weeks ago simulating delivery of . .

organs manufactured by United Therapeutics to a hospital in Baltimore, with the next flight being Source: Jefferies, BETA Source: Jefferies, BETA

a medical flight in the NE. Part 135 will generate revenues, requiring operating certificates to be

amended for training and ops plus updated OTAs, likely a 4-6mo process. The sequence is inverted

w/ aircraft flying commercially ahead of type certification, which reduces the timeline by >1yr.
