Beam Global Seeks to Set World Record for Longest Flight in a Production Electric Aircraft Powered by Off-Grid Renewable Energy

Beam-EV ARC-Flying on Sunshine-EV Emotorcycle Eplane July 2021

We’re setting out to prove that zero emission aviation is not only possible, it’s here. Join us as we power the longest flight ever in a production electric aircraft powered entirely by off-grid renewable energy. The multi-leg quest starts and ends in Fresno and culminates with a media event at Fresno Chandler Executive Airport Saturday July 17.

The public is invited to attend the stops along the way and explore the plane while it is charging on the tarmac. See the schedule of stops below. Pilot Joseph Oldham, Founder and CEO of New Vision Aviation and a Central Valley native, and Beam Global CEO Desmond Wheatley will be available to answer questions about zero emissions aviation, the future of clean mobility and aviation education programs in the Central Valley.

As momentum behind the electrification of transportation continues to grow, this world record attempt will highlight the coming revolution of air travel, ushering in a new era of clean transportation led by California.
