I don’t get all the whoopla and press over eVTOL aircraft. ALL the eVTOL companies are vying for a very small subset of the aviation short hall business. None of them can make it non stop SFO to JFK or SFO to HNL with an economically supporting load. LAX to SFO (400 mile ish) seems to be their focus. How many of these aircraft can the current ATC system support? Another thousand a day? Everybody is up in arms re fossil fuel air pollution and I get it. What ever happened to the SAF program? Jet engines can run on that stuff. We can use the equipment we have and go where we want with the current equipment. If an airline orders a new Boeing or Airbus today what is the delivery date? 3 years / 5 years away? And those will come with jet engines! How about some press on the SAF program. Enough with the extension cord airplanes.
