BETA Technologies is a Nasdaq-listed aircraft manufacturer breaking new ground with its advanced pursuit of building world-beating electric planes. Kyle Clark, Founder and CEO, explains the economic advantages of electric aircraft. He discusses assembly to operating systems, and then explains how oil majors are the beneficiaries of planes constantly refuelling, but those who own and make the electric airplanes & their batteries have a much greater continued advantage. He describes how the US wants to lead in electric aviation, the military demand, why regulation can help as it creates barriers to entry, why for their roll out, cargo, medical & logistics are coming before people. However, longer flights, more people, and the peace of flying electric, are all part of a fascinating new chapter in flight. The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by J.P.
