Beam Sets World Record for Longest Flight in a Production Electric Aircraft Powered Only by Sunshine

Beam Global Sets World Record for Longest Flight in a Production Electric Aircraft, Powered Only by Sunshine. In July 2021 Beam Global successfully set the world record for the longest flight in a production electric aircraft powered by off-grid, renewable solar energy, proving zero emissions aviation is here. Starting in Fresno, the Pipistrel Alpha Electro aircraft flew 227 nautical miles over Central California with stops in Madera, Merced, Modesto and Lodi before following the same flight path back to Fresno. Beam Global partnered with Pilot Joseph Oldham, Founder and CEO of New Vision Aviation, to make the trip possible. EV ARC™ electric vehicle charging equipment was rapidly deployed at several airports, and in some cases relocated to support the multi-leg flight, demonstrating that airports can support the electrification of aviation without construction, electrical work or large utility charges. “This historic world record marks the start of a new chapter for zero-emissions aviation while breaking down the barriers to rapid adoption of commercially available clean aircraft. Our products make airport charging infrastructure available now, ushering in a new level of aviation access for rural and suburban denizens,” said Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley. “There are around twenty thousand public and private airports across the U.S. and we want to put clean, impact-free charging infrastructure in all of them.” To find out more about Beam's Sustainable off grid EV charging solutions reach out to the Beam Team at [email protected]
