Yeah, her record isn't stellar over the past several years.

Great insight, shortage of pilots are an ensure, if profitable, airlines will embrace this sector due to partnerships.

@@SupplyDemandTradingStock The airlines are interested and I could see them offering an "ultra" first class service that might include checking in at a remote facility (downtown NYC as an example) and being ferried out to a special security gate, which they pay for. The cost of first-class international fights is quite high, but there seem to be lots of people willing to pay it, and this is something they could probably charge an extra $1000 for.

That might be just as costly...at least initially.

Sounds gross

I think they will be cheaper. Helicopter maintenance is quite high, and this aircraft should require only a fraction of the maintenance of a rotorcraft. Also, it will be far more efficient. Rotorcraft are not very efficient designs. The tilt rotor is probably 50% more efficient. This design will also have far fewer moving parts than a helicopter. Now, will people take them? Perhaps, but the big challenge to getting a lot of people taking them will be getting a lot of commercial pilots, and that is where the real problem will be. The Airlines can't even get enough pilots, so to think we could have a couple of thousand air taxies in operation at any given time is a big leap. If you carry passengers for hire, you have to have a commercial license. Now in time, that might happen, but in the short term, it will be the limit. (I could see airlines offering air taxi transport to the airport for a new class of premium service as part of the cost of the ticket and airlines are already interested in buying these. Imagine being able to check in at a downtown location and being able to get the air taxi out to Kennedy Airport. Yeah, I could see that.)

Agree, until technology matures or aircrafts become autonomous.

@@SupplyDemandTradingStock That would indeed do it, and we may see it by the 2040s.

Noise too

and HODL.

Great insight.

Where you gonna land - Helipads at first. Then rooftops, the tops of parking structures and just plain single level parking lots. These aircraft land vertically and only need electricity. No jet fuel or the infrastructure it requires. Just a charger. Who's gonna fly - Pilots for the first few years, then they will be autonomous. They are easier to fly than helicopters or fixed wing aircraft due to the flight computers, so training won't be an issue. Also autonomous aircraft are FAR easier than self driving cars. Far fewer random actors in the skies, like pedestrians. Two phases of FAA approval - Actually 3, I belive for EVTOL'S. Joby has already completed phase one for their production aircraft. Archer will be starting soon. Oh, BTW, the former head of the FAA WORKS FOR ARCHER NOW!!! Can you say, fast track? Will FAA change requirements - Yes. These are a new class of aircraft, so creating new requirements for aircraft and pilot training are actually necessary. I'm pretty sure Cathie knows more about aviation than you. Lol!!!! 😂

@@helifanodobezanozi7689 idont think so what are you gaining might as well be airport still to at airport what do after landing rent car.just not logical fans make noise confidence issue with autonomous on roof top no thanks…very short mission durability…turn around going to be issue with charge time….faa will require pilot qualification they are quoting altitudes and speeds…these deals are working fine line as scam. Big elephant FAA. I DONT SEE PASSING .90 DIVE…….THIS THING IS PUSHING WAGON UP HILL….LOTS OF HYPE GREAT CREATIVITY BUT SORRY NOT GOING WORK .PEOPLE DONT EVEN USE HELICOPTERS

@@helifanodobezanozi7689😂Exactly!!! Cuz Cathie won’t just push her money down the drain.. they’ve people inside doing underground work begore spending money 💵

I have Joby,Archer and Ehang

It’s already happening. Joby had a prototype destroy itself before hitting the ground. Vertical Aerospace also had a crash with cascading failures.

It happens rip Kobe nothing gonna stop innovation and progress

They doubted the advent of cars in the 1800's as well.Matter of fact. Many people thought the internet was a crazy idea as well. My point is. Most new things sound crazy until its proven. It's natural to be skeptical

they are already safer than helicopters; do you see people saying get rid of helicopters every time they crash? no

​@Lord_Farquaad753 they are safer because they can't lift people
