Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN, Financials) is taking its green ambitions to new heights. In a filing with the government, the online retailer said it now owned 5.3% of BETA Technologies Inc., a fast growing electric aviation company that is working on planes that can take off and land vertically.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission received the document, which discloses that Amazon owns around 11.75 million shares of BETA's Class A stock through its NV Holdings subsidiary. Amazon has complete voting and investing rights over the share because of the investment.
After hours trade on Tuesday, BETA's stock shot up 17% as investors liked the news. The Vermont-based startup has been making electric vertical takeoff and landing planes for cargo and regional travel. These planes might transform the way distribution and logistics networks function in the future.
It's not too unexpected that Amazon is involved. The business has previously supported Rivian Automotive Inc., which makes electric cars, and has been adding to its Amazon Air fleet. Experts think this new investment is a long-term gamble on cleaner, quicker transportation, and maybe even the next big thing in sustainable shipping.
