SAN DIEGO, California, United States–Beam Global, (Nasdaq: BEEM, BEEMW), announced that the Pipistrel Alpha Electroaircraft flew 227 nautical miles over Central California, thus setting the world record for the Longest flight in a production electric aircraft powered by renewable solar energy, according to the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY.
Starting in Fresno, the Pipistrel Alpha Electro aircraft flew 227 nautical miles over Central California with stops in Madera, Merced, Modesto and Lodi before following the same flight path back to Fresno. Beam Global partnered with Pilot Joseph Oldham, Founder and CEO of New Vision Aviation, to make the trip possible.
