How are they generating the electricity? And will you be able to fly it with a Xbox controller?

Looks like a miniature Spruce Goose.
Since it’s EV can we call it the Juice Goose?

Range of 500 miles, and speed of 200 mph. It can serve a purpose, if the price is right.

I can't believe how the VC money flows to anybody with a business plan that says " Our mission to help decarbonize industry XYZ."
You can "decarbonize" to the maximum extent possible and it MIGHT reduce total global carbon fuel use 0.001%.
I saw a good analysis yesterday that showed how much "decarbonization" will occur when half of the WORLD's automobile fleet is all EVs. It was pathetically small, less than 5%.
CO2 in our lungs reaches 40,000–50,000 ppm. Each human exhales 2.3 pounds of CO2 per day. Earth’s 8 billion people produce 18.4 billion pounds of CO2 per day Humans are 1/40 of all CO2-excreting life on Earth. Overall CO2 excreted by the total animal and fungal biomass on the planet is 736 billion pounds of CO2 per day.
Daily CO2 emissions from all worldwide human industrial sources in 2020 were 35.2 billion pounds.
The entire animal and fungal biomass puts out more than 20 times as much CO2 as all industrial emissions.
This ignores CO2 emissions from natural sources such as volcanoes.

Anyone else remember back in the 60s, if you wanted to fly into Washington National (DCA) it had to be on an Electra...nothing larger?

That’s how you do PR for a stock listing or bank loan

Your asbestos suit will fall out from your overhead console. Please put yours on before helping your children or the elderly.

How are they generating the electricity? And will you be able to fly it with a Xbox controller? They call their design "hybrid electric" and the technology demonstrator they flew has a single turbine engine connected to a generator plus lithium batteries to power the eight electric motors.

But the BATTERIES! What about the batteries?
Now if it is operating on hydrogen fuel cells, it might work.
Unicorn farts and pixie dust are in very short supply.

Eno0ugh buzzwords in that short clip to choke a horse.
Good for them, I’ll pass. A PC-6 is my idea of a commercial STOL aircraft.

EV planes. Cause EV busses worked out so well.

Electric buses are sitting unused in cities across the US; here's why
Many U.S. cities are grappling with broken-down electric transit vehicles that cannot be fixed, months after the largest E-bus manufacturer...
