We learned with ATG, Atom Aircraft, and others that it takes $2 billion to build and certify a new airplane. These companies come out with tens or a few hundreds of of millions wanting to do the same thing.

Electric motor spins the turbine blades instead of combustion? Is that really a "jet"?

So, it’s basically a helicopter. The term “taxi” implies it will fly through town picking people up. I can’t see FAA or cities allowing that.
