This is giving the wider context about electrification beyond pure aviation. The methods developed for analysing helicopter rotors and fixed wing propellers originated with Froude's work on ship propeller design. So it makes sense to consider the applications beyond pure electric aviation as the engineering methods often are applicable in other areas. For example, it might make sense to consider the latest ideas in how rotor aerodynamics, such as aerofoil selection, are informing wind turbine design.

With several custom alterations I might like the Silent 120 well. I want also furnishings for extreme rough weather, and a way to beach (and un-beach) carrying land vehicles for town visits.

Funny I was just thinking about you the other day missed your vids

👍💪✌

Great video as always.

Perfect !!

0:00 this is just some footage of Detroit

Me like.

Lol - loved the zombie apocalypse angle :-)

I ordered one. 🎉

When I think of a flying yacht, I think of the “flying Butt” Airlander 10

What about a flying saucer motorhome?

I would add a sail.

There is a potential application for this other than just giving the super rich more high tech toys. If one adapted this to have ballast tanks where it can be semi submergible where just the solar panels are above the water but then can surface to launch its E-VTOL or total submerge a 5-10 meters in depth (i.e. no need for high pressure hulls) plus have its mini sub one could have a self sustaining, covert military sea, under sea, air platform. One might think Ukraine could make good use of such capability in interdicting supplies to and from Crimea.

What about surviving fallout and tsunamis?

Is it just me, or do billionaires have better toys than the rest of us?

I know these boats, and the concept works for the sunny climates such boats like to live having potentially cracked the flying car I might be a bit full of myself but Im not especially pleased with their flying machine, this far in theyre just not trying

Cheering for zillionaires new toys is not part of my daily work. This is disgusting! I have no interest!

I'm a visual thinker. I didn't need that zombie apocalypse image, which was totally out of line with the content. I could quite easily unsub for that sort of thing. I don't watch many films precisely so I don't have images and concepts like that in my head. Thanks! -FFS-
