Electric aircraft maker BETA TECHNOLOGIES has filed to go public under the ticker BETA, joining a wave of aerospace and clean-tech companies heading to the markets.

Founded in 2017, Beta has raised over $1.5B in private capital, opened a 188,500 sq. ft. production facility in Vermont, and completed thousands of flights with its ALIA electric aircraft across North America and Europe, including operations with the U.S. military and FAA.

The company says its simplified design reduces operating costs by 42% compared to conventional aircraft by eliminating gearboxes, in-flight liquid cooling systems, and thrust vectoring mechanisms.

Beta also recently secured a $300M investment from GE Aerospace to co-develop a hybrid electric turbogenerator for defense and civil use.

Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are serving as lead underwriters of the offering.
