Wings of Change: Electric Airplane Carries 04 Passengers 130 KM for ₹700 in Game-Changing Flight
It looked like any other small plane preparing for takeoff—but this one didn’t roar. Instead, it hummed quietly down the runway before lifting smoothly into the sky. On board were four passengers and a vision of the future. Developed by Beta Technologies, this fully electric aircraft recently completed a 130-kilometer journey from East Hampton to JFK Airport. The cost? Just ₹700 per passenger. The message? The electric aviation era has officially begun. The 35-minute flight, piloted by Beta’s CEO Kyle Clark, wasn’t just a test—it was a statement. Electric propulsion, once confined to prototypes and press releases, has now taken a real-world leap. This wasn’t a solo pilot on a joyride; it was a group traveling together on a route that mirrors practical, regional air mobility. Clean, quiet, and surprisingly affordable, the journey offers a glimpse into what could become commonplace in the years ahead. Unlike traditional planes that depend on fossil fuels and complex engines, electric aircraft like this one operate with far fewer moving parts and zero emissions. Maintenance? Easier. Noise? Lower. Environmental impact? Hugely reduced. And perhaps most strikingly—ticket prices that undercut even some train fares.
