Beta Technologies is trading 4.51% up at $26.75 after beginning electric-aircraft test flights at Galveston’s Scholes Field International Airport on August 18, 2026.
- Testing is expected to continue into early September across several Texas airports.
- Beta is participating in seven of eight federal eVTOL integration projects, more than any other electric-aircraft manufacturer.
- The broader market is weaker, suggesting the company-specific operational milestone is supporting the gain.
