It's all very silly really isn't it. If services like this were viable, we'd have been doing them with helicopters for years. If eVTOL air taxis were viable, the large aerospace primes would be jumping on it. If you could certify novel air vehicles in only two years, Leonardo would have had the AW609 in production 16years ago.
What I don't get is that I'm an academic in this area, and I know many of the other academics in this area, and we're all quite happy to take consultancy. To the best of my knowledge not one of the venture capitalists throwing millions into these snake oil factories have attempted to consult with me or anybody like me. Who is letting them throw all of this money away with apparently no expert advice whatsoever.
