Vermont-based Beta Technologies’ Alia CX300—an electric conventional takeoff and landing (CTOL) aircraft with capacity for up to five passengers or 1,400 pounds of cargo—has landed at King County International Airport (KBFI) in Washington state, the company announced.

The CX300, one of two all-electric aircraft being developed by Beta, also took off at the airport—better known as Boeing Field—as part of a live demonstration on Tuesday. In attendance were officials from the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) and other state agencies, Boeing Field director John Parrott, and “industry leaders from across Washington,” Beta said.
