Fresh off a multiweek European “Grand Tour” comprising stops in Ireland, the U.K., France, Germany, Luxembourg, and Denmark, Beta Technologies’ all-electric CX300 is conducting its first test flights in Norway.
The aircraft, tail number N214BT, was recently delivered to customer Bristow Group, whose pilots took it to the skies for the first time on Friday. The flight marks the start of a six-month series of evaluations within Norway’s international test arena for zero- and low-emission aviation. The country’s civil aviation authority in March gave Beta and Bristow the green light to conduct the test arena’s inaugural demonstrations.
