The Arctic tern can travel thousands of miles during its migration. What can an electric plane learn from a bird? Beta Technologies drew inspiration from the bird when designing its Alia CX300. Its tapered wings, V-shaped tail, and rear-mounted propeller are all designed to reduce drag and improve efficiency. Deputy executive producer Daniel T. Allen breaks down how the aircraft works and gets a look at what vertical takeoffs and landings could feel like in a simulator. #travel #electricplanes #aviation #pushinglimits
