It hurts my heart watching all this money get thrown into bullshit evtol startups as GA continues to wither. Until you see people getting their entire part 61 certs on relatively conventional electric aircraft the evtol planes aren’t going to happen in any real way. They’re far less efficient than conventional aircraft and therefore limited to flight times measured in minutes regardless of what their websites say. It’s simple battery energy density.

Getting businesspeople from SFO/OAK to Marin 30m faster just seems frivolous. Any eVTOL can justify its existence by slapping an ambulance label on its side. Picture of smiling grandma, or child organ recipient.
