Are we witnessing the future of aviation? Quiet, electric airplanes take flight

Beta Technologies has achieved a milestone with its all-electric airplane, which recently completed a passenger flight from the Hamptons to JFK, promising a quieter and more environmentally friendly future for aviation. Blade CEO Rob Wiesenthal highlights the benefits of reduced noise and energy costs, while Beta CEO Kyle Clark emphasizes safety improvements and low energy expenses.
