Beta Technologies, an electric aviation company that has an electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in flight testing, announced sales of a less futuristic battery-powered model on Tuesday.

Driving the news: The company is pursuing certification of an electric conventional takeoff and landing aircraft, or eCTOL, which uses airport runways, while simultaneously working on eVTOL technology.

Why it matters: The move is shaking up the highly competitive electric aviation space. Beta is offering carriers an extensively tested near-term cargo or small passenger solution they can put into existing uses while improving their sustainability.

The big picture: Beta founder and CEO Kyle Clark tells Axios the company is responding to customer demand by pursuing the eCTOL route.
