Joby is gonna make such a difference in the world next year

In one of the aeroplane designs the horizontal wings rotates to create lift.

Correction on the Archer Midnight. That's 4 passengers, a pilot, plus 1000lbs of cargo.

May find applications for short haul medical or otherwise, emergency evacuations or deliveries, from isolated spots to where ambulances have road access, or air rescue helicopters can land.

These are amazing baby steps. Like any evolution there will be a proliferation of crazy ideas for a while and the strong will out-compete then progress will move in that direction.

You might be interested in Doroni Aerospace. Located in Florida. Very interesting design and Company plan.

I live in Sonoma County CA. 3 miles from Sonoma County Airport. I'm hoping to take a,Joby flight to Tahoe. Go snowboarding all day. Fly back home before sun set.

That eHang will never go mainstream. One power out and its Bon voyage.

Multi-Trillion from my stand point. Growing every aspect. Multi-trillion, trust and believe. Never wrong.

Maybe in the next video, you can also include Charge Time. While flight time seems important, 20 minutes from one location to the next, then charged does sound promising. However, what is the charge time (down time) between flights? That would be as important here as flight time. So, please, in the next video, include 'down time' in-between flights... this would add substantially to the development and understanding to these eVTOL crafts as they relate advantages and disadvantages in the economy of useability and efficiency: mobility and freedom.

I really need to get one of these before I die

wow, 10 years and I have never seen anything like that.

I will only ride in a VTOL if it can glide and land if all the motors fail

They now have a nuclear reactor on an IC that will available in the near future..

The development is so fast that some of the ones in this video is already obsolete

I enjoy these videos and want to know what "very redundant" means. Is it like "redundant"?

These problems of range and endurance have already been solved in the past with a technology that is cheap and reliable, but unfortunately, its no longer seen as trendy and green. Yep turbo props and jet engines, can do all of this and more and can fly for 1000's of miles. This is just wheel reinvention and they are certainly not green when one takes into account the mining of the raw materials for batteries/ motors and the processing of those materials, which exploit child labour in the Congo and slave labour in China. I find it odd that these well documented facts are simply ignored by the makers and users. But I did enjoy your video.

Like EVs, all these eVTOLs will face significant range challenges in the winter.

the optical array on the drone at the end of the video looks funny, it resembles a 3d emoji that is very surprised

Very interesting 🧐

the sky will be coming down. .

What about the ALIA 250 by BETA Technologies? That's by far the most promising candidate. In its CTOL-version is has already demonstrated 200+ mile flights at 150 mph. BETA is much less pushing the media hype but so much better at delivering (compared to Lilium, Joby or Archer).

❤❤❤❤❤❤

Parachute. Would give me peace of mind, the day will come with solar panel covered vtols..

That 4 arm version seems very dangerous. If any of the 8 motors fail, there is no glide capability. You are going down!

Archer has the best new model!❤

EHang 216 😍

Overcoming the energy density of hydrocarbons is the biggest problem for electric aircraft. The battery technology just isn't there yet.

I'm wondering why there are no electric autogyros?

Electric planes/helicopters/flying vehicles is generally a stupid idea (unless one is talking about unmanned drones for local combat).

Can it AUTOrotate?

What I think? I want to see what a Electric Vtall is Instead of a electric vehicle is.

EVE Embraer ?

There are really only a handful of evtol designs that my intuition and common sense tell me will emerge as viable. The Lilium jet and the Cavorite X5 are both in that lane. Ultimately, evtol designs must exceed many design requirements, not simply take off and land like RC drones. They must be elegant, safe, quiet, efficient, reliable, etc.--and they must be ALL of those things simultaneously. The sooner designers and engineers get that fact through their heads, the sooner the world will see a true revolution in air mobility.

#overcrowded road is economic problems a new system must be open

Evtol ano na?

Most of those open rotor designs like the Midnight are so ridiculously inefficient its pretty hilarious. All those exposed rotors all with engines that draw tons of electricity, something like 12 or more in total. all to lift this large and heavy fuselage that only seats 6 passengers at best. Even if one would account of additional pace when transitioned into forward (airplane) flight, 6 of those engines then power down and those non active rotors create a tremendous amount of drag and turbulent air. How would that feel in forward flight? well.. we know how a plane feels when coming in for its approach with its flaps down. that turbulent air created by the flaps being out of the wings slip stream. well. Midnight as some others propose this for its flight longevity. All just to get the aircraft landing and taking off vertically. wouldve been better off using a single or at best dual rotor layout as those that already exist, because financially your not achieving anything greater with a six passenger payload.

Double decker EVToL.

Can't wait until they make mini nuclear power cells

The REGENT is not VTOL.

I guess we will find out….let’s see if you are right or wrong. I think personally battery development is much further ahead than you think. Hydrogen has its own inherent problems as well. Proof is in the pudding or shall we say their viability long term.

Energy density per volume of lithium batteries is the downfall of electric vehicles. Compacting that much energy into a smaller volume causes any abnormality to become a disaster.

if they can fly 20 minutes then why don't they ever show a full 3 minute flight? they are scamming.

1. You don't have an Archimedes blade To make it significantly stable. 2. You don't have a pwm generator to keep it in the air for HOURS ON END. 3. You don't have any solar panels to Supply the pwm. 4. You don't have the weight distribution right on that.

Quel intérêt de développer ce genre d'engins futuristes si l'autonomie sera forcement insuffisante pour une utilisation polyvalente, et comment loger des batteries pour avoir l'autonomie suffisante sans parler du poids 😊

Electric is not the answer.

Cost effective still is not a thing.

still lacks practicality.

They all look far, far to complicated, no seasoned aviator would go near them.

Please help me read my posts

1:29, I'm a bore, I'm sorry 🫡 But this is an invention of Soviet citizens. And the Russians have nothing to do with it. Since, Russian(русский), Soviet and Russianin(россиянин) are different concepts, like the Earth, the Moon and the Sun. And it is not necessary to attribute the destroyed property of the Soviet people to the modern, capitalist, tsarist Russian Federation.

The redundant OLD theme about batteries. YEAH! OLD. Ion Sodium Batteries clearly say you reading BS. Time to let go the black gold industry on the past.

#opinions evtvol are eco friendly climate change is gitting over

This AI voice over is so ridiculous. Up down up down... stick with a pitch already!

firstly, electric battery vehicles are useless in terms of cost. the range and flight times are bad enough already, and everyone who who has a battery powered device knows this one fact. after a hundred chargecycles the battery is nowhere near as good as it was new. all these flight times and range given by these companys is for brand new batteries. after a month, you can halve the stated range or flight time, or just ignore this fact and watch them fall out if the sky. hydrogen HHO is the way forward for mankind.

I don't trust anything electric flying
